Liverpool are interested in signing a left-back this summer, on a day that has also seen four injury updates emerge.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Writing on Substack, David Lynch explained that Liverpool are eyeing Girona left-back Miguel Gutierrez, seeing him as an alternative to Bournemouth‘s Milos Kerkez this summer.
“Andy Robertson is beginning to look less capable of producing his best form three times a week and perhaps better suited to the back-up role currently occupied by Kostas Tsimikas,” Lynch wrote.
“There is well-documented interest in Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, though Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez has also been watched closely.”
Gutierrez was a key member of the Girona team that finished third in La Liga last season, with the 23-year-old also bagging four assists in 2024/25 to date.
It looks increasingly as though left-back will be a priority area of focus at Liverpool this summer – rightly so, too!

Joanna Durkan has previewed a crucial February for Liverpool, including next Wednesday’s trip to Everton in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park:
“An evening kickoff will only lift the atmosphere, one that has already been boosted by the return of David Moyes and three successive victories in the league – trust us to have to play them now!
“This is a huge fixture and one that would establish a nine-point gap at the top after 24 games.”

On this day in 2015, Steven Gerrard made his 700th appearance for Liverpool, coming in a 2-1 win away to Bolton in an FA Cup fourth round replay.
Having fallen behind, the Reds produced a dramatic late turnaround, with Raheem Sterling equalising and Philippe Coutinho curling home a brilliant winner.

Also on this day in 1978, Ian Callaghan appeared in the league for the final time in a Liverpool shirt, in what was his 640th outing.
The legendary winger remains the Reds’ record appearance-maker – it’s hard to see his tally of 857 ever being beaten!
