Lloyd Kelly talks about his future amid his links with Tottenham
Bournemouth’s versatile left-back/centre-back, Lloyd Kelly, has addressed the swirling speculation surrounding his future, notably the links with Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
The 25-year-old Bristol-born has been magnificent for the Cherries overseeing promotion to the Premier League two seasons ago and staying up last year. Bournemouth once again find themselves in a relegation battle and would ideally want their best talents, including Kelly to help see the season out.
However, there have been plenty of rumours linking Kelly with a move away over the upcoming transfer window, well before the season ends. As earlier mentioned, Tottenham and Liverpool see themselves as suitors.
It was The Standard that first covered the PL duo’s interest in Kelly. He would add a great deal of tactical versatility to both squads.
Here is what he told the Bournemouth ECHO when quizzed about his future:
“I think my focus at the moment is performing and performing well week in, week out for Bournemouth.”
“That’s where my focus is until the end of the season.”
Kelly‘s composed response reflects his determination to keep his attention squarely on the task at hand, with his primary goal being to excel for Bournemouth throughout the season and potentially help them stay in the first division.
What next for him?
His approach is a testament to his professionalism and dedication to his current club. The 23-year-old defender has become a key figure for Bournemouth, showcasing his versatility and defensive prowess in both left-back and centre-back roles.
For Tottenham, the prospect of acquiring a versatile and promising defender like Kelly could add depth and quality to their squad and also provide valuable options in multiple positions. Similar for Jurgen Klopp’s side as well.
The January transfer window looms, and speculation surrounding potential moves will likely intensify. However, Kelly’s resolute focus on his current responsibilities at Bournemouth suggests that any potential transfer discussions will be put on hold until the end of the season.
