The Englishman’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and although Bournemouth is trying to persuade him to stay, he wants to go as a free agent.
Since last summer, when they attempted to include Eric Dier in the deal, Tottenham has supposedly been tracking Kelly in front of the January transfer window in order to fill in for the then-injured Micky van de Ven.
But nothing happened, and it seems Liverpool has already surpassed them in the competition to sign the 25-year-old.
When Joel Matip’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, he may be leaving the Merseyside club, while Virgil van Dijk’s future with the Reds is also up in the air.
Fulham’s center back Liverpool is also keeping an eye on Tosin Adarabioyo, but Kelly is a more desirable choice because to his versatility.
The former Bristol City player is a left-back as well, so having Joe Gomez on their team will be beneficial.
But when Jurgen Klopp gets ready to depart Liverpool at the end of the season, there may be managerial instability, which might offer Spurs and other suitors an advantage in the competition for his services.
There might be an interesting battle for Kelly in England and abroad in the upcoming months, as other clubs are anticipated to express interest once the Bournemouth star becomes available for free. The next Reds boss may not be a fan of the player despite his skills.
