Richard Hughes plan for 'quality' Liverpool ace revealed

Liverpool's first-team squad had a massive overhaul in the summer transfer window.

Several players were both bought and sold with Arne Slot and Richard Hughes spending over £450 million on new players.

And, while most fans thought that the Reds' performances would improve with all the new faces being added to their ranks, the reality of the situation is that, at the moment, they're worse than they were last term.

Indeed, players such as Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni haven't been given that much of a chance to prove their worth just yet due to injuries but most of their other new signings have performed below expectations.

With this in mind, it's hardly surprising to see that transfer rumours are already emerging from Anfield about what the future could hold for some of Slot's men.

Kostas Tsimikas could return to Olympiacos in January

As mentioned, many Liverpool players were moved on in the summer with some exiting permanently while others left on loan.

Kostas Tsimikas was one of the few who exited L4 on a season-long loan deal to Roma.

And, although his time in Italy started out well, things haven't gone to plan recently with Gian Piero Gasperini not trusting the left-back.

This has resulted in questions being shared about his future with a new report stating that the Greek Scouser could join Olympiacos in the January transfer window.

Greek outlet Sports King start their report by stating that Tsimikas 'will return to Olympiacos in January,' that is, despite him being on a season-long loan to Roma.

This is due to his 'limited playing time' for the Serie A outfit which could result in him returning to Liverpool 'immediately.'

Liverpool want to 'take advantage' of Tsimikas' situation with the defender himself giving the 'green light' to end his loan with Roma prematurely, as long as they can find a replacement.

Liverpool must figure out what they're going to do with Kostas Tsimikas

At the moment, Liverpool aren't likely thinking all that much about Tsimikas.

It's clear that the left-back is no longer in Slot's plans now that he has Milos Kerkez among his ranks.

And, even though some fans though the Greece international would be back next season if Andy Robertson didn't extend his stay, it unfortunately doesn't seem like things are going to pan out like that.

There have been times when the left-back has been in impressive form but more often than not, he's been a mistake waiting to happen.

As much as it will hurt fans to see the 29-year-old leave Liverpool for good, at this point in his career, it feels like the best thing for both parties.

That is, even if he was described as a "quality" player by Jurgen Klopp.
