Liverpool concerns prove that exciting star is on his way to Anfield

Liverpool haven't been at their best this season.

Whether that's because their players have failed to meet expectations or if its because they've just not got enough shots off, Andoni Iraola's men just haven't been at the races this term.

They've lost a fair few games across all competitions and, without some serious reinforcement in the upcoming transfer windows, they're going to fall even further behind their title rivals.

Obviously, a team of Liverpool's stature should be challenging for silverware every season but, at this rate, that's almost certainly not going to happen.

But, with how many players the Reds have been linked with recently, it's good news to see that some of those deals could now end up being confirmed.

Liverpool have concerns over Milos Kerkez's recent form

Milos Kerkez has probably been one of Liverpool's worst performers this season.

The Hungarian has failed to meet expectations on numerous occasions and, even though there have been times when his talent has shone through, it has often felt like the Reds made the wrong choice when they sold Andy Robertson in the summer.

Indeed, Kostas Tsimikas is another option that the Anfield outfit have but, somehow, he's been even worse than Kerkez.

These poor performances have led to fans questioning whether a new left-back should be on top of Liverpool's shortlist or not.

And now, thanks to a fresh update from Football Insider, it's clear that Liverpool are also thinking the same way.

"Liverpool are beginning to develop concerns about Milos Kerkez's displays so far this season, sources have told Football Insider," they wrote.

"The 22-year-old has retained his position as the starting left-back this season, and has started ten games across all competitions so far, including eight in the Premier League.

"However, his inconsistent displays have led to question marks about his long-term role in the side, and whether Liverpool will need to strengthen in his position.

"Andoni Iraola is a big fan of the Hungary international, who he also worked with at Bournemouth, and has been backed to get him back to his best in the near future."

Liverpool's concerns over Milos Kerkez could lead to them signing Alejandro Balde in January

Several left-backs have been linked with a Liverpool move this season.

Although none of them ended up joining in the summer, many rumours have emerged linking Liverpool with a January move for one or two players.

Among those linked, Barcelona's Alejandro Balde has been a well recieved move by fans.

The 23-year-old was Hansi Flick's starting left-back last term but, for one reason or another, he's been left on the bench this term.

Balde's natural position is at left-back but, during the start of his Barcelona career, he also played a handful of games at right-back.

The La Liga giants only want around £34 million for Balde so a deal for him would be cheap and, since he's already proven that he can handle the Champions League and can contribute to the team well, it feels like a deal for the Spaniard is a no-brainer.

That is, especially if there are concerns about the future of Kerkez in L4.
