The former Tottenham Hotspur shot-stopper feels the Irishman will come in handy for Klopp's side despite Alisson's presence. He told : “It is imperative that they keep him from a Liverpool point of view. He is so young. He has shown the ability that he has got. There is no doubt about it, he has the ability to play week in, week out as a number one." “Every Premier League club carries two number one goalkeepers now. It is vitally important that they do because they are playing in so many competitions. Kelleher will get opportunities but it really depends what he wants." “The number one has changed massively at the big clubs. Managers are not afraid to rotate goalkeepers now. There is always a clear number one at a club but if he is not playing well there is a number two there that the manager is able to put in." Kelleher has a contract with the Merseyside-based club until the end of the 2025-26 season.
