James believes Kelleher would make a good choice for City 

David James thinks Manchester City should sign Caoimhin Kelleher. Kelleher plays as a goalkeeper for Liverpool.

James on the other hand used to play for both Liverpool and Manchester City. He has suggested that Kelleher could replace Ederson since he has not been performing well recently.

Kelleher joined Liverpool’s main team in 2019. He came through Liverpool’s youth teams. He has played 67 times for Liverpool’s senior team though he has not been the main goalkeeper. Alisson Becker has held that position. Liverpool signed Giorgi Mamardashvili so Kelleher will likely leave Liverpool this summer.

Speaking to Prime Casino, James said: “Yeah, I think for Ederson, if you go back to last season, maybe the season before even, Ali and Eddie for me were the top two goalkeepers around, without question. I think he’s had a difficult season. I think that’s fair to say.

“A lot of off-field issues perhaps from the beginning of the season, which has been a bit of a legacy throughout the season. He seems happy, maybe that’s because he’s getting his assist now. But if Eddie were to move, I think Stefan Ortega has proven to be a reliable number two.

“But even the likes of Caoimhin Kelleher could be a suitable replacement if Pep Guardiola was looking to replace Eddie because Caoimhín, in his role for Liverpool, is essentially doing everything that Eddie does for Manchester City.

“Caoimhín’s got that calmness about him. He’s unflappable. He’s won trophies, which is a major thing. He knows how to get into those positions to win trophies. He’s been involved in penalty shootouts, all the stuff that you want from a top goalkeeper.

“Again, sort of answers two questions in one, doesn’t it? If Liverpool needed to move one goalkeeper on, and Man City might need one. You know, you probably wouldn’t even have to relocate because it’s only 45 minutes down the road. You don’t often see moves like that between two title rivals, but I think this one could benefit all parties.”

West Ham wants to sign Kelleher. James wants Pep Guardiola to sign him. He believes Kelleher would be a good replacement for Ederson. Alisson is presently playing again for Liverpool and Kelleher might not play much until the end of the season.
