Liverpool boss Klopp sees Lewis as Moreno replacement

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.
