Should Chilwell sign for the Merseysiders, he would likely compete with Alberto Moreno and Joe Gomez for the left-back role under Jurgen Klopp next season.

Chilwell is thought to be close to agreeing terms on a £4million move and Lorient claim the club have also been in contact about Guerreiro, along with Borussia Dortmund and two other “major foreign clubs”.
Hayes had said about Liverpool bidding for Guerreiro: “No one wants to see Raphael leave, especially the president”.
The official from the club also stated that they are getting bids from a number of European clubs and the player would only be sold if a insane bid was made, “He will only be transferred if a club makes an offer that we can’t refuse”.
Catalan newspaper Sport reported this week that Barcelona have made a move for the Portugal global and Hayes told Ouest France that Lorient have already received several formal offers.
However, he insisted that the French club would not be forced into selling Guerreiro, who has just over a year left on his contract Stade du Moustoir.
The Spain global was made the scapegoat for Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat by reigning champions Sevilla in the Europa League final. Either way it seems that Moreno’s days at Anfield are numbered.

The Lorient defender would be ideal for the Reds next season but more importantly, he could give them a lot of stability down the left-flank.
