Liverpool full-back Owen Beck is set to rejoin Dundee United on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 season, according to The Athletic.
The 21-year-old was recalled at the beginning of January to provide defensive cover for the club.
However, with Andy Robertson making a successful comeback from a dislocated shoulder and Kostas Tsimikas nearing his return, Beck will now return to the Scottish club.
Beck recently made a notable appearance off the bench for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the victory against Bournemouth and has been an unused substitute three times.
His initial loan spell at Dundee was highly productive, with the Wales U21 international making 20 appearances for the Scottish club during the first half of the season.
Upon his return from the loan spell at Dundee earlier this month, Klopp said: “It was good, as quoted by the BBC.
“So, we always saw and were pretty positive about Owen but then he had two really difficult loan spells, which was a surprise that it didn’t work out because of what we thought about Owen, but that’s how it is, especially with young boys when you send them away from home and stuff like this.
“Plenty of things can happen there and it always needs to fit really well – it must be the right manager, must be the right team, if you have another left-back there and he has experience… there are so many things [that] can make a loan spell not really happening.
“That was probably for him the case and now in Dundee it was fine and he made big steps, and now the situation here is clear: we lose two of our left-backs so we think it makes sense if a boy we like is available for us, we bring him back. That’s all.”
