Szoboszlai reacts to Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez ahead of possible Liverpool move
Dominik Szoboszlai reacted to Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez on social media as Liverpool closes in on the Hungarian star.
Having already missed out on Dean Huijsen after the Spaniard signed for Real Madrid, Slot’s side look likely step up their pursuit of the Cherries’ exciting defender in the coming days.
Fullbacks can be hard to come by, especially at the elite level Liverpool compete at, and Kerkez represents an exciting opportunity for the Premier League champions.
The Hungarian is very capable going forward, as shown by his two goals and five assists in the Premier League last season.
With Andy Robertson’s performances deteriorating, signing the 21-year-old this summer would allow Kerkez to rotate with the Scottish defender next season, before taking over the role on a full-time basis after that.
Milos Kerkez posts cryptic message amid Liverpool links
Kerkez has linked up with the Hungary squad, ahead of the country’s friendlies against Sweden and Azerbaijan on 6 and 10 June.
The talented left-back shared an image of himself arriving to meet up with the squad, captioned simply with a cryptic eyes emoji.
Hungary teammate and potential Liverpool colleague, Szoboszlai liked the post, showing his support for the young defender.
Milos Kerkez wants Liverpool move
Football Insider Verdict
Football Insider revealed in March that Kerkez had told those close to him he wanted to join Liverpool, and it looks likely that deal will happen this summer.
The former AC Milan left-back acclimated to the demands of the Premier League quickly after joining Bournemouth.
Liverpool have confirmed Jeremie Frimpong as a summer signing and are currently working on getting a deal done for Florian Wirtz.
Two new signings on either side of the defence will be exciting for Liverpool fans. Under Jurgen Klopp, the two fullbacks, Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, were the fulcrums of the team.
And with the arrival of the Dutch defender, and potentially Kerkez, it would appear that Slot is imitating his predecessor in focusing his team building around the two positions.
Ian Darke revealed exclusively to Liverpool News that there are no guarantees that Frimpong will start immediately for the Reds.
