Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all going to play a vital role in what happens to Liverpool for the foreseeable years to come.

Fresh legs arriving in the form of Milos Kerkez, who over two seasons has proven himself one of the Premier League's most capable in the position, would go straight into the team.

The ECHO understands that Liverpool are interested in the 21-year-old while keeping tabs on a number of other potential options ahead of the forthcoming transfer window.

As for the existing options, it would be comforting to see Robertson kept for the final year of his contract and allowed to leave for free in 2026

May Dean Huijsen of Bournemouth be presented.

Rumoured to have a £50m price tag and be on the watchlist of a host of clubs across Europe, the young Spaniard has passed the test of being thrown into Premier League action this year, and much sooner than expected too.

Ideally, as Liverpool did not sign a replacement for Joel Matip last year, he would add to the options of Gomez and Quansah behind Van Dijk and Konate, though if that is not to be, then Huijsen can be trusted as a starter.
