Ahead of the summer, Liverpool joined other Premier League clubs in the race to sign Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford in a bid to secure a backup for first-choice goalkeeper Alisson.
Trafford appears to be a target for Liverpool ahead of the summer, according to Football Insider.
The 21-year-old, who left Manchester City for Burnley last summer, made 28 Premier League appearances last season, conceding 62 goals and keeping just two clean sheets.
Liverpool could be looking to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer, so keep an eye on him at Trafford.
The future of Liverpool second keeper Caoimhin Kelleher is uncertain at the club.
However, third keeper Adrian will leave the club this summer after his contract expires soon.
The Reds could be in the market to sign a new goalkeeper who could act as a second option to Alisson.
Among other positions that need attention from new manager Arne Slot, the goalkeeper position may need to be addressed in the transfer window.
This young goalkeeper is highly respected and that is why he was selected by Gareth Southgate in his England team that will play in the Euro.
The 21-year-old from Trafford was instrumental in England's under-21 side's triumph at the European Championships last summer, helping the team to victory over Spain in the final with a last-minute penalty save.
The Merseyside club and Newcastle United are reportedly ready to compete for Trafford's signature after the Reds were eyeing the player on several occasions this past season.
Liverpool need a goalkeeper to support the team this summer
This young goalkeeper is on the verge of becoming the first player of the national team.
Signing him for Liverpool would make perfect sense as the Reds need a succession plan for Alisson.
Trafford will be able to play in the Reds' cup competitions and a move to Anfield would be a big step for him after being sacked by Burnley.
