Sources: Liverpool has signed Lloyd Kelly as January price revealed €110m

Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly could be available for a cut-price fee in January with Liverpool ready to swoop for his services, sources have told Football Insider.

The Merseysiders could be joined in the race for the 24-year-old by Tottenham – who are also keen to land him.

Kelly is out of contract at Bournemouth in June 2024 and can therefore discuss a pre-contract agreement with foreign sides in January.

But Premier League duo Liverpool and Tottenham are ready to battle to keep him in England and ensure Bournemouth recoup a fee for the centre-back.

Kelly has made two starts for the Cherries so far this season, playing 149 minutes in total.

The former England Under-21 international joined the south coast club in 2019 from Bristol City.

He cost a reported £13million and signed a five-year deal at the Vitality Stadium.

But with Bournemouth facing the prospect of losing the defender for free at the end of that deal, it is believed they could be forced to accept a cut-price fee for his services.

Kelly has made 119 appearances in total for the Cherries, scoring twice and adding seven assists.

He played 24 times last term, with an ankle injury preventing him from being an ever-present.

The 24-year-old can play as a centre-back and as a left-back.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was keen to add a new left-sided defender in the summer window, but failed to add one to his squad.

Tottenham were also planning to bring in a centre-back, but couldn’t shift out-of-favour stars Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez in time to make those plans a reality.

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been praised for his part in Argentina’s 1-0 win over Ecuador last night.

The World Champions were once again thankful to their little magician, Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami man burying a wonderful match-winning free-kick.

But in amongst that, Mac Allister got a 77 minute run-out, too. And according to Argentine outlet TyC Sports, the 24-year-old did a good job.

In a first half that was described as collectively ‘weak,’ it’s claimed that Alexis was actually the Albiceleste’s best player on the pitch.

Then, interestingly, it appears as though the Liverpool man was moved into defensive midfield. Having moved to what the Argentine’s call the ‘5’ position, he reportedly excelled.
