Liverpool fans like to call Caoimhin Kelleher the world’s best second goalkeeper. The problem for Liverpool is that the Irish international goalkeeper is tired of being second in line. In the past year, the 25-year-old was well on his way away, where he openly said he was seeking the first goalkeeper position, but stayed. Now the offer could come that sends Kelleher away from Anfield.
We always take what comes from The Sun with a grain of salt, but in this case, there is realism in the claims. The English inker claims that work is being done in London to pry the world’s best second goalkeeper and give him control at Stamford Bridge.
