The Hungary defender was Arne Slot's top transfer target for his "problem position" of left back and could go on to become one of the best in the world.

Liverpool’s summer transfer splurge has continued with the announcement of the £40 million signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.

Kerkez grew up in Vrbas, Serbia — a hometown he returns to every chance he gets, given his football career took him away at age 11, when he joined Austria’s Rapid Vienna. He now represents Hungary as payback for the coaching and care he received in that country, having played for Hodmezovasarhelyi and Gyor.
