After struggling for two years to settle on a first-choice goalkeeper, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may well be in the market for a new one this summer, with a host of big names now being linked with Anfield.

It is tempting, then, to write off one of their current shot-stoppers, the 24-year-old Loris Karius, who has endured no end of criticism for his performances since joining the club from Mainz in 2016.

But not all of has been entirely warranted. Karius rarely looks like a complete disaster of a player; rather, he is prone to the occasional lapse in concentration - something that many goalkeepers have managed to iron out of their game through the accumulation of experience.

So while he may not be Liverpool's number one beyond the end of this season, the ex-City youth player will more than likely go on to man the sticks for another big European rival and, given a couple of years, may well be occupying one of the backup spots for Germany as well.
