Liverpool legend Alan Kennedy is backing their move for Sevilla fullback Alberto Moreno.
Kennedy is regarded as among the greatest fullbacks to play for the club.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "Moreno represents a more natural left-back simply because he is left footed.
"He will provide excellent competition for [Jose] Enrique I'm sure but that's not to say Jon Flanagan still isn't in with a shout of playing there. You can play right-footed players at left-back but you can't do it the other way around so he offers that versatility which is quite rare at the top level.
"There is a good future and it's nice for Brendan [Rodgers] if he does get Moreno because he'll have so much competition for one position.
"Nobody has really stood out and said 'I'm the number three' so perhaps Moreno can get a run in the side and if the team are winning then Brendan won't want to change that and that's how you'll get that consistency."
