Liverpool eye shock move for ex-Cardiff City goalkeeper David Marshall - reports

Former Cardiff City goalkeeper David Marshall is being linked with a shock move to Liverpool should Simon Mignolet leave the Champions League finalists this summer.

Mignolet is reportedly set for a £15million exit from Merseyside, having fallen behind Allison Becker in the Liverpool pecking order.

And, according to the Scottish Sun, ex-Bluebird Marshall is said to have been identified by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp as his replacement for cover.

Scottish international Marshall made 281 appearances for Cardiff after joining from Norwich in the summer of 2007 and established himself as a big fans' favourite.

He spent seven seasons in south Wales, captained the Bluebirds and played outstandingly well in the Premier League before moving to Hull as part of a cost-cutting exercise.

The former Celtic keeper is under contract with Hull until the end of June, before becoming a free agent. The Tigers say they will speak to Marshall in the coming weeks about extending his stay at the KCOM Stadium.

But the lure of a move to Liverpool could be too great with the Premier League runners-up having also signed left-back Andy Robertson from Hull in 2017.

Marhsall was linked with a £5m move to Liverpool in the summer of 2015, with then Reds boss Brendan Rodgers looking to put pressure on number one Mignolet. That move never materialised, but could on this occasion.
