Förra säsongen gjorde Martin Kelly succé när han blev utlånad till Huddersfield Town. Nu vill klubben ha tillbaka talangen.
Huddersfields manager Lee Clark säger följande till The Huddersfield Daily Examiner:
“We’re in close contact with Liverpool over Martin, and I know they’re happy about the way things went when he was here last season.
“They’ve had DVDs of every appearance he made and also had representatives at a number of those matches.
“Now they want to see first hand what effect the loan spell has had in terms of career progression, so they will have a close look at him in pre-season before making a decision.
“If they feel he will benefit from another spell out, then hopefully the way we handed last season’s move will put us first in the pecking order.”

Benitez har tidigare sagt att följande om hur Liverpool ska ersätta Hyypiä: “We will see the young players in pre-season and we can work on different scenarios.
“We will see all of them and then decide. They are young players with a great future here. It depends on them and it depends on whether we can find someone in the market who can be good for us at the right price.”

Kelly har för övrigt blivit uttagen till Englands U19-trupp, som ska spela EM i Ukraina under sommaren. Man har hamnat i samma grupp som värdnationen Ukraina, Schweiz och Slovenien.
Det innebär att Kelly kommer att missa stora delar av Liverpools försäsong, precis som Nemeth gjorde förra säsongen när han spelade U19-EM för sitt Ungern.
