The 30-year-old remains a key part of the Dutch coach’s plans at the Premier League leaders, but Robertson has been rotated at Liverpool more often this season than prior campaigns.

More recently, Jorrell Hato of Ajax has been tipped to move to Liverpool, with the Dutch star even appearing at Anfield after being invited by Ryan Gravenberch.

Speaking about Liverpool’s search for a new left-back, David Lynch has stated that the Merseyside club would likely prefer Kerkez over Hato due to his profile, but the Reds reporter did not rule out the Premier League leaders attempting to sign both.

So I don’t know whether Liverpool are going to go down that route.

“For the left-back they need is kind of someone who’s coming in ready to be first choice from the off, and someone who’s more in that Kerkez age profile, played a bit more, played a bit maybe in a tougher league as well, and he’s ready to kind of come in.

“I’m no scout, so I don’t know Hato inside out, but I think Kerkez maybe fits that bill a little bit more.

He’s looking for an actual left-back.

“You could see a world where Hato and Kerkez arrive, that could be a possibility, I wouldn’t rule that one out.”

The arrival of Kerkez specifically would not be good news for the future of Robertson but the Scottish star could remain at Anfield for another season.

Robertson’s contract at Liverpool expires in 2026 and it is looking likely that the Scottish defender will see that out.

It was recently reported that Roberston will likely remain at Liverpool over Kostas Tsimikas next season, with the Greek star set to move on this summer.

That would make Kerkez the perfect option for the Reds this summer as the 21-year-old is the ideal profile and age to learn from the 30-year-old next season before taking over the campaign after.

Ajax are said to be looking for at least £25m in order to sell Hato this summer and given that the Dutch star can play at left-back and as a centre-half, that could be an option Slot prefers.
