Everton player claims "brilliant" Liverpool youngster is the "best he's ever seen" at his age

Everton goalkeeper Andy Lonergan has claimed that Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher is the "best young goalkeeper" that he has ever worked with.

Lonergan did not make an appearance for Liverpool during his time at the club but trained alongside the likes of Kelleher, Adrian and first choice Alisson Becker.

When talking about Kelleher, Lonergan was full of praise for the young Irish international.

“What a keeper’s he’s gonna be. He’s the best young keeper I’ve ever seen.” He said “He’s brilliant, what a keeper.”

Lonergan went on to praise Liverpool’s first choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

“Obviously, technically class. But his power. He could probably stand in the middle of the goal without moving his feet, and dive in the top corner. I’m not exaggerating, he was phenomenal.”

Kelleher: Second choice, but still a key man at Anfield

Caoimhin Kelleher may have limited game time at Liverpool, but he’s contributed his fair share of big moments when he’s had the opportunities to step up.

Kelleher is also an established international, with nine appearances for the Republic Of Ireland National Team.
