Liverpool completed a remarkable comeback against Barcelona last night to reach the Champions League final in Madrid. Trailing 3-0 from the first leg, Jurgen Klopp’s team put four past the Spanish giants without response to progress.

The Reds could be crowned Premier League champions on Sunday. If Liverpool defeat Wolves and Manchester City fail to dispose of Brighton, the long wait for a title will be over.

With the season drawing to a close, attention will soon turn towards next season. Klopp will try and add some reinforcements to his team, whilst some deadwood might be offloaded.

Alberto Moreno looks likely to leave when his contract expires in the summer. The Spaniard is way down the pecking order and Liverpool will probably be in the market for a replacement.

One player who Klopp should consider is Bristol City youngster Lloyd Kelly. The man who played 31 Championship games this season could move to the Premier League after the Robins failed to reach the play-offs.

Kelly wouldn’t cost the Reds an absolute fortune and with Andy Robertson in fantastic form, it’s not an area that needs massive work.

The chance to save some money for use in another area of the pitch would make the young left-back a decent piece of business for Liverpool.

Learning from Robertson would be ideal for the bright prospect. Kelly might not be quite ready for the Premier League just yet but he certainly has all the attributes to do so in the future.

Robertson cost Liverpool just £10 million (BBC Sport) and has become one of the best left-backs in the top flight. Kelly might cost similar, but if he develops at the same rate as the Scotland player, it would be deemed brilliant business by Klopp.
