Bournemouth agree fee with Bristol City for Liverpool target Lloyd Kelly

Liverpool look set to miss out of Bristol City defender Lloyd Kelly as AFC Bournemouth have reportedly agreed a fee with the Robins for the youngster. 

The Reds have been scouting the versatile 20-year-old this season, but according to Sky Sports, Jurgen Klopp appears to have missed out on Kelly with Bournemouth agreeing a £13million fee for the defender.

Kelly has made 32 appearances for Lee Johnson’s side this season and had been linked with a move away this summer following an impressive campaign for the Robins.

The 20-year-old is capable of playing as a central defender as well as a full-back, and looks set to be included in Aidy Boothroyd’s England Under-21 squad for this summer’s European Championships in Italy and San Marino. 

Kelly progressed through the ranks at Bristol City after joining the club as a teenager, and made his debut for the Robins in the Carabao Cup against Plymouth Argyle in August 2017.
