Liverpool finalise move to replace Andy Robertson
Liverpool know that they are likely to only have one more year of at the club. The Scottish left-back's contract expires next season and the signing of Milos Kerkez this summer has signified a more low-profile role for him in the upcoming campaign. He's being phased out. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Next summer, a replacement will need to be brought in and finding someone to play as Kerkez's understudy is going to be a little bit tricky, since most signings are adamant about their playing time. But the Reds might already have a solution in mind and plans are being put in place for the operation to replace Robertson to be seamless, when the time comes. An exceptional talent waits in the wings. Liverpool agree new contract for confirmed loanee One player who has been desperate for his chance in a Red shirt is Owen Beck, who has been on four different loan moves throughout his career - Famalicao, Bolton, Dundee and Blackburn. Each time, he has come back to the club as a far more developed player and the opportunity to bring him into the first-team has been considered, but nothing has really managed to come to fruition. However, his latest loan spell is going to be at Derby County, as confirmed by Liverpool earlier on Friday afternoon, and it follows the successful agreement of a new long-term deal with the Reds. So what does this mean? Well, the 22-year-old is clearly rated incredibly highly and letting his deal until 2026 expire was not considered an option for the club. His future is going to be incredibly bright and once he returns to Liverpool next season, after a spell at Derby, he might finally get his wishes.

Owen Beck sees transfer triggered by two key Liverpool decisions as Rangers receive final answer
The Light Blues were linked to the former Dundee loanee - but his long and short-term future won't be in Govan Owen Beck was one of the names to feature on Rangers' summer revolution wishlist. And Liverpool have now signed off on TWO key decisions over the fate of the left-back. Arne Slot has shown the faith he has in the 22-year-old left-back by handing him a new long-term deal at the English Premier League champions before sanctioning a temporary move away for the season ahead. But that won't be at Ibrox, with the defender moving to Derby County to reunite with former boss John Eustace for the campaign ahead after playing under him during a stint at Blackburn Rovers. We told previously how Beck was wanted back north of the border after a successful loan stint at Dundee previously - but that move hinged on one condition. Ridvan Yilmaz was that key factor and he remains on the books as things stand under Russell Martin. He has been linked constantly with a return to his homeland - but as yet, nothing has materialised on that front for a player who has struggled largly with injuries in Glasgow. Celtic also previously targeted the defender but his future in the short and long-term has now been determined as he admitted a stint at Derby is a 'no-brainer' He explained: "Obviously, I know the gaffer well from last year. "I spoke to him with that experience of working with him before in mind. It moved pretty fast and was a no-brainer for me. We built a really good connection. I feel like he got the best out of me. "When he called up and we had that conversation again where he was looking to bring me in, it was a no-brainer, really! "I enjoyed playing under him. As I said, I feel like he got the best out of me. I feel like he can get even more out of me this season, and I can push that step further." On his targets for the season ahead, he added: "First and foremost, I want to play games. I want to play and stay injury-free. "In the game, I'm going to set myself personal goals. Also, I'm sure the gaffer will have goals that he wants the team to achieve. "Hopefully, I can hit my personal goals and help the team achieve theirs too."

The club's first team has played against Preston North End, meanwhile the U21s recently featured in a friendly against Celtic's U21 side. In an 8-0 rout, there were plenty of players who caught the eye against Celtic, with Kaide Gordon and Owen Beck both scoring twice, the former also registered an assist and won a penalty. Wellity Lucky is another name worth mentioning as he was one of the players who had been offered a contract and who did feature in this game, twice being involved in Liverpool goals from centre-back. Three players on that retained however were absent and now face uncertain futures at the club.
