Former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given has urged Caoimhin Kelleher to leave Liverpool.
The Liverpool back-up goalkeeper is currently occupying the same role for Ireland and may need more time on the pitch for him to be promoted amongst the national team ranks.
"He's in a bit of a predicament Kelleher," said Given on Premier Sport.
"He's 23 years old, I'm trying to bring myself back to when I was that age and I'm not sure how many games I would have played, but I think he has only played ten or 11 games.
"He's not a kid anymore, 23 is an age where I think he should be playing regular first team football.
"The biggest problem he has is that Alisson is ahead of him. Alisson is in the prime of his life and could be for the next five or six years. Does Kelleher sit there and be happy as a number two? They've got Adrian who can sit on the bench and back [Alisson] up.
"For me, it's so important to play games. He has been training there for a few years and signed a new five-year contract last summer, so he is part of the club's long-term future.
"Even from a Liverpool point of view, they need to get him out playing, get him that experience, then bring him back and get him challenging Alisson."
