Justin Kluivert, Evanilson react to Milos Kerkez amid Bournemouth exit rumours
Bournemouth duo Justin Kluivert and Evanilson have both reacted to the latest social media post from Cherries teammate Milos Kerkez.
Andoni Iraola’s men suffered a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa last time out, as they failed to build on their momentum from a 2-1 win at Arsenal on 3 May.
Bournemouth have enjoyed a largely strong campaign and sit 10th in the Premier League with just two games left to play.
However, the Cherries may struggle to get the better of high-flyers Manchester City in their next top-flight fixture on 20 May.
Evanilson and Kluivert react to Kerkez message as Liverpool eye transfer
Former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider that Liverpool are prepared to pay £40million for Kerkez.

But while news of a potential Bournemouth exit won’t go away, the Hungary international posted a photo of himself in action for the Cherries on Instagram [13 May], accompanied by an eyes emoji and a football emoji.
Bournemouth colleagues Evanilson and Justin Kluivert, who has scored 12 Premier League goals this summer, both liked the post.
Antoine Semenyo could join Kerkez out the Bournemouth exit door
Iraola’s side have progressed well this term, and are set to land their first top-half Premier League finish since the 2016/17 season.
The Cherries also deservedly reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they were beaten 2-1 by Man City despite putting on a good performance and holding a 1-0 lead.
But although Bournemouth are performing well this term, Kerkez may not be the only high-profile player keen on leaving the Dorset club this summer.
Former Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson exclusively told Football Insider that he thinks the Anfield giants should sign Antoine Semenyo.
The Ghana international has had an excellent season for Iraola’s men, scoring nine goals and creating five assists in 35 Premier League appearances.
If the former Bristol City man does leave Bournemouth this summer, he will leave the South Coast outfit with a significant void to fill.
The Cherries will be pleased, though, that Iraola is set to stay at the Vitality Stadium amid interest in his services from Europa League finalists Tottenham.
