Premier League champions Liverpool have finalized a £40 million deal to bring highly-rated left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth to Anfield.
The 21-year-old Hungary international’s arrival marks a significant step in Liverpool’s ambitious summer transfer window.
This acquisition follows reports of a pending club-record £116 million move for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz and the recent £29.5 million signing of Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from the same German club.
Kerkez, who played every Premier League game last season, helped Bournemouth to a record ninth-place finish, contributing two goals and six assists.
His impressive statistics, including high ball recoveries and chance creation, suggest he’s a perfect fit for Liverpool’s pressing style under Arne Slot.
His move to Liverpool could impact the futures of current Reds left-backs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.
