Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Caoimhin Kelleher ahead of the game against Fulham tomorrow.
The Reds look like they’re back to their best. They are definitely in a title race this time, and Alisson Becker will be key for them. However, the Brazilian is currently injured, and Kelleher will take his place. Klopp is convinced he’s ready to be the number one. Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher is ‘exceptional’ Alisson is the undisputed number one at the club, which is why the Ireland international has been linked with a move away from Anfield on a few occasions.
However, Liverpool have managed to keep hold of him, and with Alisson out injured now, Kelleher is all set to start in the Premier League against Fulham tomorrow. The Irishman isn’t quite on the same level as Alisson, but he is still a solid goalkeeper. He is more than capable of filling in, and Klopp seems to be a big fan of him.
When asked if Kelleher is ready to be the number one, the German said, as quoted by Liverpool’s official website: “Yeah, no doubt. No doubt.
Caoimhin Kelleher has been at Liverpool since 2015, but he has never quite been the club’s first-choice.
