Chelsea and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing 20-cap Republic of Ireland international Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Caoimhin Kelleher will likely leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window. However, the 20-cap Republic of Ireland international does not have a shortage of clubs pursuing his signature, with Chelsea and Newcastle United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.

 

Caoimhin Kelleher and his Liverpool journey

Caoimhin Kelleher has established himself as one of the best backup goalkeepers in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Liverpool FC. The Cork native spent most of his formative years in his homeland. However, the Irishman graduated from Liverpool’s academy after joining the Merseyside club in July 2015.

The 26-year-old has been Alisson Becker’s deputy since breaking into the first-team squad but has always made his mark whenever he has received his opportunities. That has also been the case this term, with Kelleher keeping eight clean sheets while conceding only 14 goals in 16 appearances across all competitions.

However, Kelleher wants to embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window as he wants to become a first-choice goalkeeper at the club level. The 20-cap Republic of Ireland international does not have a shortage of clubs pursuing his signature, with Chelsea and Newcastle United among the prospective suitors for his signature.
