JUST IN: Liverpool Boss Reacts To Star Saying He Wants Out

Earlier this week, back-up goalkeeper Caoimhn Kelleher admitted he had requested a departure from the Reds on several occasions. 

The 25-year-old Ireland international has ambitions of playing regularly, having largely been used as Allison Becker's stand-in during his time at Anfield. 

With 47 senior appearances to his name, Kelleher has impressed when handed opportunities, but he believes he is "good enough" to be a No. 1.

Speaking ahead of their Premier League encounter against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Liverpool manager Arne Slot suggested he is happy with Kelleher's attitude. 

"I would be worried if a player came out and said he loved it on the bench and wants to stay there for the rest of his life," he told reporters. 

Kelleher played 26 times for the Reds last season, but the club's purchase of Georgia's Giorgi Mamardashvili means it is unlikely he succeeds Allison in goal.
