Liverpool 'step up search for new goalkeeper following Loris Karius blunders'

Liverpool have reportedly made signing a new goalkeeper a top priority following Loris Karius's blunders in the Champions League final.

The German was at fault for two of the goals the Reds conceded in their 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev.

According to The Mirror, Karius's performance was enough to convince manager Jurgen Klopp to seek out a new first-choice stopper this summer, and several candidates are said to fit the bill.

Rumours linking Roma's Alisson with a move to Anfield have intensified since the final, but Liverpool are also rumoured to be considering Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid, Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and AC Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Cologne stopper Timo Horn has also been linked with the Reds, although he turned down the chance to join the club shortly after Klopp's arrival.
