Liverpool need someone to fix a massive problem and that player appears to be available. Do it, Richard Hughes.
There's a real full-back problem at Liverpool. That problem actually arrived in 2025 with Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving the club but to say it's been exacerbated since then is an understatement.
Andy Robertson has now left as well, while Conor Bradley has a serious injury that rules him out long-term. Jeremie Frimpong, signed as Alexander-Arnold's replacement, looks incapable of playing there reliably - or at least, Arne Slot gave up on the idea.
As things stand, Kostas Tsimikas will return to fill the Robertson void. He's another who hasn't been trusted in the past and even AS Roma were reluctant to play him.
Milos Kerkez stands as the sole reliable full-back, then. It's not really enough.
