An injury to Liverpool number 1, Alisson and a 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa before the international break has sparked rumours surrounding a potential incoming for the reds. Alisson was ruled out for 6 weeks after sustaining a shoulder injury leaving Liverpool with Adrian as their only experienced option.
Although the transfer deadline for Premier League teams has passed, they can still sign players from the EFL before October 16th. This has led to Liverpool being linked with goalkeepers from lower leagues who could provide competition for Adrian during Alisson’s absence.
Jack Butland of Stoke City and Brice Samba of Nottingham Forest are two names that have been the subject of speculation in regards to a possible move to Merseyside. Jack Butland who has been heavily linked, could bring a great level of experience to the Liverpool squad with 77 Premier league appearances and 9 senior caps for England. On the other hand, Brice Samba is an interesting option after a solid breakthrough season in 2019/20 where he kept 13 clean sheets in 40 starts for the Midlands side.
Despite reports, Klopp has indicated that he is happy with his current options suggesting that a new goalkeeper for Liverpool is unlikely. With Klopps side travelling to Everton this weekend it is expected that Adrian will retain his spot in-between the sticks. Youngsters Caoimhin Kelleher and Marcelo Pitaluga will be the most likely candidates to serve as cover for the Spaniard.
