Liverpool keeper coach Achterberg encourages Karius to leave

Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg admits they'd like Loris Karius to leave this month.

Karius is out of contract in the summer and is expected to depart given his place in the pecking order and lack of first team action.

Achterberg is hopeful the 28-year-old will be able to find a solution this month and get his career back on track.

“In the end it's down to him, his agent and the club to try to find a solution" he told The Athletic. “Hopefully there will be one this month.

“It doesn't help anyone to sit for another six months without the feeling that you are really fighting for something. That's not going to improve him. He needs to use his quality to make a career now. Loris has a lot of good qualities."
