Liverpool ace reveals plan to usurp Jurgen Klopp favourite; talks ‘most difficult’ season

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas has spoken about his aim of replacing Andy Robertson in Jurgen Klopp’s first team.

The left-back came through Olympiacos’ academy in his native Greece, before making 86 appearances in their senior side. He also had loan spells in Denmark and the Netherlands.

Tsimikas enjoyed a great campaign with Olympiacos in 2019-20, featuring in 46 games across all competitions. He helped the Greek outfit to win their first league title in four years.

Tsimikas also gained experience in both the Champions League and Europa League that season.

The 25-year-old’s impressive displays saw Liverpool arrive on the scene for his signature. They struck an £11.75million deal with Olympiacos to land him in August 2020.

Tsimikas’ first campaign at Anfield was blighted by coronavirus, thigh problems and a knee injury. He would only make two Premier League outings for the Reds.

However, the 16-cap Greek international is now fully fit and making an impact under Klopp. He is already on 18 appearances for the season, and has registered three assists in that time.

Tsimikas is rivalling fellow left-back Robertson for a starting spot. However, he faces a tough task to force his way
