Football Insider have revealed that Liverpool have joined Tottenham in the race for Bournemouth star Lloyd Kelly ahead of the January transfer window.
Various outlets over the last few weeks have revealed that Spurs are continuing to keep close tabs on Kelly after failing to get a deal for the centre-back over the line during the summer transfer window (GiveMeSport).
Last week, Fabrizio Romano revealed that AC Milan and Juventus had also entered the race for the race for the 25-year-old’s signature.
However, a couple of days ago, talkSPORT asserted that Bournemouth do not wish to sell Kelly in January even though his current contract at the Vitality Stadium runs out next summer.
It was explained that the Cherries consider the defender to be key in helping them preserve their Premier League status and are thus ready to risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.

Liverpool enter race with Spurs for Lloyd Kelly
Football Insider have now named Liverpool as Spurs’ main competitor for Kelly’s signature in January.
The report states that Jurgen Klopp’s men are keen on signing a versatile defender in the winter and have now identified the Cherries star as a target.
It is alleged that Kelly’s ability to play at centre-back and left-back appeals to the Merseyside club, who are said to be aware that there is ‘huge interest’ in the player across the Premier League.

Bournemouth’s preference would be to hang on to Kelly as preserving their top-flight status would be the South Coast club’s priority.
However, the centre-back’s head might be turned by the interest and it remains to be seen if the Cherries would want to keep hold of an unhappy player.
