James Pearce of the ECho is saying that Klopp wants to sign a left back to compete with Milner. I would have thought that he would aim higher in that position. We need someone to replace Milner as a left back, not to compete with him.

Could be diplomatic language? 'Compete' with implies whoever comes in would have to work hard and wouldn't automatically start, and it also implies that Jámeś has had a good season and shouldn't necessarily be benched by a new signing.

Last season the main LB target was Ben Chilwell and this season, it was Ryan Sessessgon. So yeah, it seems like Jimbo Pearce is right.

To be fair Milner (stats wise) was one of the best LB of last season in europe. I think he was in the Top 5 as well acording to the CIES football observatory.
