Alex McCarthy 'Willing' to Join Liverpool as Simon Mignolet Nears Exit Door at Anfield

Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is open to becoming Liverpool's new backup goalkeeper, as Simon Mignolet is set to leave the club this summer.

With Liverpool seemingly unable to stay away from Southampton, McCarthy became the latest player to be linked with a move to the Reds as Jurgen Klopp looks to add some more depth in goal.

According to the Evening Standard, McCarthy is willing to make the move to Liverpool, but only if he cannot regain a place in Southampton's starting lineup.

Angus Gunn was preferred by boss Ralph Hasenhuttl for the last three months of the season, prompting rumours that McCarthy could look to leave the club.
