Liverpool considering move for Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly?

Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Liverpool.

While the Premier League giants are well stocked for options in defence, Jurgen Klopp may be prepared to part ways with Nat Phillips during the January window.

That would free up a space in his squad for the second half of the campaign, and it appears that there is interest in a player who is impressing in the Championship.

According to the Daily Mail, Kelly is on Liverpool's radar, the versatile 23-year-old capable of playing at centre-back and left-back.

The Englishman has made 17 starts in the second tier this season, helping Bournemouth into the automatic promotion places as they bid to return to the Premier League.

Kelly has just over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, leaving Bournemouth in a position where they can rebuff interest in his signature.
