Liverpool star is finished as major transfer news emerges

Liverpool star is finished as major transfer news emerges Andoni Iraola's time as Liverpool manager has gone pretty well so far. The Spaniard is currently unbeaten across all competitions and, although he's only just started to get his team to win games, you can tell that all of his players are getting used to his playstyle. This is obviously the first major step towards Liverpool getting back to the top of the Premier League table and potentially adding some more silverware to their trophy cabinet. However, with how quickly other teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal have got back to their best, it's unclear whether Liverpool will be able to match their performance levels for the entire season. So, in case they do need to give themselves a bit of a boost halfway through the campaign, it's hardly a surprise to find out that one of their players looks likely to be finished at Anfield. Liverpool want to sign Tyrick Mitchell in January One of Liverpool's main problem positions this season has been left-back . Andy Robertson joined Tottenham as a free agent at the start of the season which meant that Milos Kerkez became the Reds' undisputed starter. However, Kerkez's performances last season were less than convincing with Robertson often being used as Arne Slot 's first choice. Throughout the summer, fans debated whether or not Liverpool should sign a new left-back and, in the end, they chose against bringing someone in and stuck it out with Kerkez as the starter and Kostas Tsimikas as his back-up. But, thanks to an update from TEAMtalk, it now feels like Tsimikas could be finished at Anfield. "Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell is attracting growing interest from Manchester United and Liverpool as he enters the final year of his contract, and TEAMtalk understands that a January move is growing more likely," they wrote . "Man Utd are keeping a particularly close eye on Mitchell’s situation. "He is also a much cheaper option than Newcastle star Lewis Hall, for example, and a deal for Mitchell in January is viewed as doable. "Liverpool, meanwhile, have also been linked with a potential move. "With questions surrounding the form of Milos Kerkez, the Reds are understood to view Mitchell as a solid option to add competition and depth on the left flank. "His status as a homegrown player would also help with squad registration rules, and sources have confirmed Liverpool are interested and monitoring his situation." Why Liverpool signing Tyrick Mitchell means Kostas Tsimikas is finished Tyrick Mitchell is one of Crystal Palace's best defenders . The Englishman has had the left-back position locked down for the Eagles for as long as anyone can remember with some people even shocked that he didn't make it to Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad. For Liverpool, it feels like signing Mitchell would be the perfect way to create more competition at left-back. Because, as much as Tsimikas is Liverpool's back-up, he's still way worse than Kerkez . And, for someone such as Kerkez, it feels like he needs someone to fight against so that he constantly improves, rather than stagnates. As, even last season, when Robertson was at Anfield, the Hungarian seemed to perform a lot better than he is now. But, since they only just spent £45 million on him and he's still so young, there's no way that the Reds would sanction his exit, especially since Tsimikas is now in his 30's. Obviously, the Greek Scouser has served a purpose for Liverpool since his arrival but now, it feels like his time in L4 has come to its natural end.
