Milos Kerkez - Welcome to Liverpool FC

No middle name...

Liverpool FC have completed the signing of Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth.


The left-back has undergone a medical and agreed a long-term contract with the Premier League champions at the AXA Training Centre.

Kerkez becomes the Reds’ newest addition of the summer and swiftly follows the announcement of Florian Wirtz’s arrival last Friday.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com in an exclusive first interview, the Hungary international said: "I'm really happy.

"It's a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, [the] biggest club in England. I'm just really, really happy and excited.

"After this, I'll go home and in my hometown enjoy a few days, and then I can't really wait to come back and put the training kit on and start to train and prepare for the season."

Kerkez makes the move to Anfield after two impressive seasons in England with Bournemouth, for whom he made 74 appearances, scored two goals and registered eight assists.

The 21-year-old's career at senior level began with Hungarian side ETO FC Gyor before he earned a switch to AC Milan in 2021.

He then joined AZ Alkmaar in the middle of the 2021-22 season and would appear 57 times during his year-and-a-half stint in the Netherlands.

Kerkez has 23 caps for Hungary to date after making his international bow in a UEFA Nations League contest with Germany back in September 2022.

He has been shortlisted for the 2024-25 Men's PFA Young Player of the Year and was a finalist for the 2023 Golden Boy award, which recognises the best European-based talent under the age of 21.

Kerkez added: "I just want to thank everyone for really showing me big love, even before it will be announced now.

"And keep supporting the team like you support always, because you're the biggest fan base in the world.

"I'm going to give everything – absolutely everything – to win trophies with the club and to hopefully score some goals at Anfield. I can't wait to hear the roar. And see you soon."

The defender's official squad number for Liverpool will be confirmed later this summer.

Where did this one come out of?

[Lee]

What a signing.

That’s an immense start to the window.

Welcome

Cuntfirmed!!!

Big shoes to fill with Robbo having been amazing for us. I wouldn't be surprised to see Robertson start the season to be honest. Games against Newcastle and Arsenal near the start of the campaign will be tricky and Slot will possibly go with experience....... Virgil will probably let him know what to do halfway through pre-season!!!

[SB]

Glad it’s done. Welcome lad, big shoes & all that but I trust the TC & Slot.

Good to get a few players signed, I think there will probably be a bit of a pause before doing anymore business
