Kelleher Sets Sights On Leaving Liverpool Next Summer

The Republic of Ireland international has served as back up to Alisson Becker at Anfield for the last couple of seasons and has been used primarily in the cup competitions.

New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has already taken steps to strengthen his goalkeeping department, with Georgia shot stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili set to join from Valencia next summer.

"I made it clear in the last few years I want to go be a number one and play week in, week out," said Kelleher ahead of Ireland's Nations League clash with Greece.

"The club made the decision to get another goalkeeper.

"From the outside looking in, it looks like they have made a decision to go in another direction.

"My ambition has always been clear the last few seasons that I want to be a number one, playing week in week out.

"At times it is not always in my hands. My mission was to go out and play, and be a number one.

"It has been reported that Liverpool had rejected a few bids as well. It is not always in my hands to make the decision. My ambition is to prove I am good enough to play week in, week out."
