Milos Kerkez ‘honoured’ to make £40m move to Liverpool from Bournemouth
-
Hungary left-back signs five-year deal with champions

Liverpool’s spending for new season passes £200m-mark
Milos Kerkez has described joining Liverpool in a £40m deal from Bournemouth as a “real honour” and a “privilege”. The 21-year-old left-back has signed a five-year deal with the Premier League champions and is the club’s third arrival this summer, following that of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
Kerkez, who links up with fellow Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield, is viewed as the long-term successor to Andy Robertson, who is a target for Atlético Madrid. It is understood, however, that Liverpool have no intention of forcing out the 31-year-old Scotland captain, who started in 29 of his 33 Premier League appearances last season but is in the final year of his contract.
