Liverpool are reportedly looking to sign a replacement for Andy Robertson this January. Robertson has been a crucial player for Liverpool since joining in 2017. However, recent performances and tactical shifts have raised questions about his future at the club.
Milos Kerkez: Liverpool eyeing for January Transfer window
One target for Liverpool is 20-year-old Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth. Kerkez has impressed this season, starting all of Bournemouth’s league matches. Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, is familiar with Kerkez from his time at Bournemouth.
Another option is El Hadji Malick Diouf, a 20-year-old defender from Slavia Prague. Additionally, Liverpool is monitoring Patrick Dorgu, a young left-back attracting attention across Europe. A move for Dorgu could be in Liverpool’s plans to strengthen their defense.

The Red Devils are also in the race to sign the Hungarian star as they are struggling with Dalot this season. The only player United is targeting is Kerkez, who is potentially in words with Liverpool.
It is said that Kerkez favours joining Liverpool at £50m, with the presence of his compatriot adding to the pull.
Kostas Tsimikas is another option already within Liverpool’s squad. Fans and pundits have called for Tsimikas to replace Robertson in the starting lineup.
Tsimikas has consistently performed well when given opportunities by Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool may also use this chance to adjust their defensive approach tactically.
