🚨 Liverpool eye Tyrick Mitchell as a potential upgrade on Milos Kerkez
Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell as they look to strengthen their options in the position.
The Reds signed Milos Kerkez last year under former boss Arne Slot, but the Hungarian defender has yet to consistently meet expectations at Anfield.
Mitchell could provide a potential upgrade, having established himself as a key player at Crystal Palace throughout his senior career. The England international has now made 249 appearances for the Eagles and could be open to a fresh challenge if Liverpool make their interest concrete.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Mitchell has emerged as a potential target for Liverpool as they assess their options at left-back.

“Liverpool are keeping an eye on Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell, with manager Andoni Iraola looking to strengthen the position,” the reporter wrote on X.
It remains unclear whether Liverpool will make Mitchell a priority during the January transfer window or wait until next summer before making a move.
Could Tyrick Mitchell replace Milos Kerkez?
Liverpool supporters may have mixed reactions to the reports, with some feeling Kerkez deserves more time to prove himself at Anfield before the club considers bringing in a replacement.
The Hungary international impressed during his time at Bournemouth and, at a young age, still has plenty of room to develop and improve his game.
Mitchell may be the more established and experienced option, but it’s debatable whether he would significantly improve Liverpool’s current squad.
If the Reds decide to move on from Kerkez, they may be better off exploring the market for a player who can provide a more substantial upgrade.
Replacing a club legend like Andrew Robertson was never going to be an easy task for Liverpool, especially after the left-back departed for Tottenham on a free transfer this summer.
