Liverpool finalise move to replace Andy Robertson | OneFootball

Liverpool know that they are likely to only have one more year of Andy Robertson at the club.

The Scottish left-back's contract expires next season and the signing of Milos Kerkez this summer has signified a more low-profile role for him in the upcoming campaign. He's being phased out.

Next summer, a replacement will need to be brought in and finding someone to play as Kerkez's understudy is going to be a little bit tricky, since most signings are adamant about their playing time.

But the Reds might already have a solution in mind and plans are being put in place for the operation to replace Robertson to be seamless, when the time comes. An exceptional talent waits in the wings.

Liverpool agree new contract for confirmed loanee

One player who has been desperate for his chance in a Red shirt is Owen Beck, who has been on four different loan moves throughout his career - Famalicao, Bolton, Dundee and Blackburn.

Each time, he has come back to the club as a far more developed player and the opportunity to bring him into the first-team has been considered, but nothing has really managed to come to fruition.

However, his latest loan spell is going to be at Derby County, as confirmed by Liverpool earlier on Friday afternoon, and it follows the successful agreement of a new long-term deal with the Reds.

So what does this mean? Well, the 22-year-old is clearly rated incredibly highly and letting his deal until 2026 expire was not considered an option for the club. His future is going to be incredibly bright and once he returns to Liverpool next season, after a spell at Derby, he might finally get his wishes.
