Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Hungarian international Milos Kerkez from fellow Premier League club Bournemouth.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Arne Slot is pushing Liverpool to sign Bournemouth full-back Milos Kerkez. The Cherries want around £40 million to part ways with the Hungarian international.
Kerkez has established himself as one of the best left-backs in the country, and he should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Liverpool if they can get the deal done. It is no surprise that Liverpool are looking at the Hungarian international. They need to find a quality long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson.
The Scottish international is well past his peak, and his performances have been quite mediocre in recent months. Liverpool need to bring in better players if they want to challenge for major trophies. The Hungarian internationsal would be a quality long-term addition.
Liverpool certainly have the financial muscle to pay £40 million for him, and he could sort out their left-back department for the foreseeable future. The Merseyside outfit could have an advantage in the race to sign the player as well.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes brought the player to Bournemouth, and he could play a key role in bringing the player to Anfield now. In addition, the presence of the Hungarian national team captain Dominik Szoboszlai could further help Liverpool convince the player to join. It remains to be seen of the situation develops.
Kerkez would be a superb addition
The talented young defender is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for Liverpool in the long run. The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the country will be quite attractive for the youngster as well. Liverpool could provide him with the platform to push for major trophies in the coming seasons.
The reds have a proven track record of nurturing young players as well. They could help the Bournemouth defender fulfil his tremendous potential in the coming seasons. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure an agreement for the player in the coming months. They need to continue improving their squad if they want to compete at the highest level regularly.
