LIVERPOOL are tracking three left backs as potential long-term replacements for Andy Robertson.

The Scottish international was on the bench at the weekend, and there are question marks over how long he will be an automatic starter for the Merseysiders.

And although new boss Arne Slot has shown faith in Kostas Tsimiskas, SunSport understands the club have made recruiting a left-back one of their key priorities.

Two players high on Liverpool’s wishlist are Fulham’s Antonee Robinson and the impressive David Raum from RB Leipzig.

Both are seen as potential first team players who could fit into Liverpool’s system.

Scouts have watched both players several times this season.

It is believed Slot is personally involved with the process and will play a key role in all future recruitment decisions.

Liverpool are also tracking Ipswich’s impressive Leif Davis, who has made a strong start to the season for The Tractor Boys despite their difficult introduction to the Premier League.

Slot believes Robertson is paying the price for playing with an injury last season but thinks he will recapture his flying form.

The Scotland captain has had a difficult start to the campaign by his lofty standards.

Slot remains relaxed about the 30-year-old’s form, however.

Robertson sustained a serious ankle injury on international duty in March but continued to play through the pain as Liverpool chased a quadruple, before Scotland competed at Euro 2024.

He missed most of Slot’s inaugural pre-season as a consequence, including the head coach’s first games on tour in the US, leaving him playing catch-up physically and tactically.

Slot said: “I think his current situation is what you can expect if a player misses out on pre-season and a new manager comes in – you miss quite a lot.

“You have to go into a programme where you’ve missed the base tactically when it comes to us [a new management team], and physically as well.”
