Liverpool's left-back position has been a subject of debate throughout the current season, with both Milos Kerkez and Kostas Tsimikas failing to impress. The third option, 22-year-old Luke Chambers, has barely made an impact with just five minutes of first-team experience under his belt this campaign. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Liverpool's new manager Andoni Iraola is set to let Chambers leave during the January transfer window, either on loan or permanently.
Celtic are reportedly the club keen on signing the Englishman, who has previously had loan spells at Charlton, Wigan, and Kilmarnock. Celtic views Chambers as a long-term project, which could fuel the prospect of a permanent transfer rather than a short-term loan. Iraola has demonstrated his trust in nurturing young talent, but Chambers has not been able to secure a regular spot in the Liverpool team.
If Celtic proceeds with their pursuit of Chambers, it may prompt Liverpool to agree to a permanent deal.
