John Arne Riise calls on Liverpool to sign a new left-back: 'I'm a big fan of (Moreno's) but last year he was caught too many times out of position'

Club hero John Arne Riise has called on Liverpool to sign a new left-back due to question marks over Alberto Moreno's defensive ability.

Moreno has struggled to impress since joining Liverpool in a £12million deal from Sevilla in the summer of 2014. He did not start the Anfield side's glamour pre-season friendly against Barcelona at Wembley.

An injury suffered by James Milner means Moreno may go into the new season as Liverpool's only fit player able to play at left-back, but Riise believes Jurgen Klopp needs to bring in another specialist in that position.

'I can see Liverpool looking for a left back and maybe a few others as well,' Riise said to Sky Sports.
