Liverpool are ready to promote from within to replace left-back Alberto Moreno.
Liverpool are ready to let Moreno leave on a free when his contract expires at the end of the season
And Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has been impressed by youngster Adam Lewis, who has registered three assists from nine games in all competitions this season and believes he is capable of making the jump up to the senior squad.
The 18-year-old is likely to be tasked with providing competition for Andrew Robertson, who has established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet, next season.
Moreno, who has spent the past three-and-half seasons at Liverpool since moving from Sevilla in a £12m switch, will be free to speak to clubs and sign a pre-contract deal with foreign sides in January.
