Karius determined to fight for Liverpool No.1 spot

Loris Karius has outlined his ambitions to compete for the starting role and help the club win trophies upon his return to Liverpool.

A couple of blunders that cost his side the title in the final of the Champions League against Real Madrid in 2018 was enough to convince Liverpool that Loris Karius was not the most reliable goalkeeper for their future plans.

Karius was then shipped off to Besiktas on a two-year loan. Alisson Becker was brought in to replace him, and he has played a prominent role in the Reds’ recent success.

The German recently terminated his loan with Besiktas and will be present in Jurgen Klopp‘s squad at the end of this season.

And instead of being put off by the competition that awaits him, the 26-year old is willing to challenge Alisson for the No.1 spot.

“I can accelerate in training at Liverpool,” Karius told Transfermarkt.

“I am currently at the best club in the world, who are competing for trophies, and I have the highest level around me every day in training. Of course, as a footballer, I want to win one or two trophies.

“I want to get the best possible performance out of myself. When I am asked, I am there to perform and help the team. No matter whether as No. 1 or No. 2, I will always do my best.”
