Liverpool backed to sign centre-half as Joe Gomez exit mooted – pundit
Liverpool would need to sign another centre-half if Joe Gomez leaves the club this summer, according to Paul Robinson.
The former Spurs and England number one, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, insisted Reds manager Jurgen Klopp will be desperate to keep hold of 25-year-old.
The Mirror‘s Simon Mullock claimed (19 June) that Gomez has become frustrated with his lack of game time at Anfield.
The centre-half fell down the pecking order on Merseyside last season and was primarily used as a right-back.
Robinson suggested Gomez has a decision to make on his future this summer.
“It all depends on how Gomez feels at the club,” he told Football Insider.
“He will be very aware of the opportunities or lack of opportunities he has going into next season. You only have one career.
“Joe Gomez will be frustrated by the amount of game time he had last season. It is up to him and the type of person he is to see if he can continue that. He might seek a move elsewhere.
“We have already seen huge upheaval at Liverpool this year with Sadio Mane going. If Gomez was to go, I think they would have to replace him.
“It will all come down to the player. Jurgen Klopp will certainly not be looking to move him on. He’s a great player to have in your squad. He isn’t going to play every week though.”
