Liverpool eye free transfer swoop for ‘massive’ colossus who was dubbed a ‘joke’ by one teammate

Liverpool could resurrect a transfer habit which had been in vogue at Anfield during the mid-2010s.

According to the Daily Mail, the Reds have added Southampton’s Alex McCarthy to a shortlist of potential goalkeeping options to pursue, should Caoimhin Kelleher depart this summer in search of regular game-time elsewhere.

The 34-year-old’s contract at St Mary’s expires at the end of this season and he’s seeking a return to Premier League football, with the Saints currently involved in the Championship play-offs.
