Liverpool could stick with Karius

The Telegraph understands that Liverpool may end their pursuit of a new goalkeeper and keep faith with Loris Karius.

The Reds have been linked with a world record mover for Roma shot-stopper Alisson, though they could now be about to abandon those plans and stick with their current first choice.

Karius is keeping Belgium international Simon Mignolet out of this side and has kept three clean sheets in his last four outings.

He moved to Anfield in the summer of 2016 from Mainz and has since racked up thirty-two appearances in all competitions.

Internationally, he has represented Germany at every level from U16 to U21 while he spent part of his youth development with Manchester City before returning to his home country.

Liverpool thumped Porto 5-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last sixteen tie and can now be backed at 11/1 to win the competition.
