Liverpool reportedly identify Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as a potential replacement for back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Alisson Becker is currently Liverpool's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, while Caoimhin Kelleher is the number two and usually features in cup competitions.

Kelleher has displaced Adrian as the club's back-up option, but he has been unable to force his way past Alisson in the pecking order.

The Ireland international has only made three appearances this season - two in the EFL Cup and one in the FA Cup.

Due to his lack of playing time, a recent report revealed that Kelleher could look to force a move away from Anfield this summer.

Liverpool are believed to be keen to keep Kelleher, but they would not stop him from trying to find first-team football elsewhere.

If Kelleher does leave the club, Jurgen Klopp's side will need to recruit another goalkeeper to provide competition for Alisson.

According to The Sun, they have identified Verbruggen, who has recently forced his way into the Anderlecht side.

The 20-year-old has started all seven of the club's league games since the World Cup break, keeping four clean sheets in that period.

The Netherlands Under-21 international is reportedly being monitored by a number of clubs, who believe he has the potential to develop into a major player in the future.

Although he is under contract until June 2025, the report claims that Verbruggen could be available for a reasonable fee.

However, his asking price could rise if he continues to impress for Anderlecht in the second half of the season.
