Liverpool agree new deal for Kelleher, Klopp has big faith

Liverpool confirm they have agreed a new deal for Caoimhin Kelleher. The 19-year-old goalkeeper says he’s been given praise from manager Jurgen Klopp and could have a bright future with the Merseysiders. He said to the club’s official website: “The manager has said I’m doing really well at the moment and to keep going the way I am. The contract is just a sign of how well I’ve been doing.”
Kelleher joined Liverpool from Irish side Ringmahon in 2015 and has risen through the youth ranks to the fringes of the first-team. He’s racked up 17 appearances for the u18s and 12 for the u23s and could be in the first-team this season. With Loris Karius having left to join Besiktas this summer, Klopp may be considering the teenager as his third-choice goalkeeper.
The shot-stopper is behind Alisson Becker and Simon Mignolet in the pecking order, but injury to either one of the players could see Kelleher make the matchday squad. His new deal with Liverpool is certainly confidence-boosting as he knows his development is going in the right direction, so all that’s left is making the transition to the senior squad.
His chance could come in 2018/19.Reports suggest Klopp and his coaching team have been very impressed by his quality at the Liverpool academy, so all bodes well for Kelleher in the future. He’s edged himself ahead of the youth competition and is on the fringes of the senior set-up, which is also why the Reds didn’t opt to sign a replacement for Karius – they trust in Kelleher.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Drives The Flashiest Ferrari You've Ever Seen

Tekashi's car seriously matches his hair. When you think of 6ix9ine, you probably picture his obnoxiously-colored rainbow hair and teeth in your mind. The man has built a brand off of a combination of his unique image, his stylistic blend of different musical genres, and his Instagram trolling. Currently on a trip to Dubai, Tekashi has been keeping his fans updated with his latest stunting news. Yesterday, the artist revealed that he had spent $50K after spending just 10 minutes inside the Gucci store. Some would say that he's being financially irresponsible but considering all of the success he's experienced this year, his paychecks are probably looking larger than life. Who knows how long he'll be in Dubai but 6ix9ine is actually driving around in a custom rainbow Ferrari while he's overseas.
