Joe Gomez DOESN’T travel with his Liverpool team-mates to Ipswich as he considers his options amid transfer interest from Premier League rivals

Joe Gomez did not travel with the Liverpool squad to Ipswich today as the defender considers his options.

The 27-year-old is open to a new challenge in his quest for a regular first-team starting spot, with strong competition from the likes of Jarell Quansah and Ibrahima Konate.

He saw a potential £45million move to Newcastle United fall through last month as part of negotiations over the deal for Anthony Gordon.

Gomez joined Liverpool from Charlton in 2015 for a fee of £3.5million and has made 248 appearances since then.

More to come.
