'I miss Liverpool': Departed fan favourite makes emotional admission Last season big changes were made at Liverpool. Arne Slot and Richard Hughes opted to clear out several members of the 2024/25 Premier League title-winning squad. The club waved goodbye to Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez among others.

And one big fan favourite who was permitted to leave is Caoimhin Kelleher . The Irish No1 was only contracted until 2026 and without a guarantee of first-team football it was tough to see him sticking around or signing a new deal. Brentford came forward with a bid of around £12m for Kelleher’s transfer and the 27-year-old has finally established himself as a first-choice Premier League goalkeeper.

Fans regret Kelleher sale Liverpool brought in Giorgi Mamardashvili as a replacement behind Alisson Becker - who could well join Juventus this summer. Reds fans meanwhile have been left to rue Kelleher’s sale - with the former academy star being a key fixture in the successes won under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. And now in an interview with the Athletic the Bees’ No1 claims he misses Liverpool as well as life on Merseyside.

'I miss Liverpool,' admits Kelleher “Liverpool is a special place for me,” he said. “I lived in the city (centre) for five years and loved it there. I just miss the people at the club.
