Milos Kerkez is all set to join Liverpool, and a report from The Athletic has claimed that they have agreed on a £40 million deal to sign the Bournemouth defender. The 21-year-old has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League, and he should prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool.
They need to sign a quality replacement for Andrew Robertson, and the 21-year-old should prove to be the ideal addition. Robertson has not been at his best over the last 12 months, and he is no longer the player he used to be. Liverpool need to bring in an upgrade if they want to fight for major trophies. Signing the 21-year-old should prove to be beneficial for the Premier League champions.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to play for Liverpool will be quite attractive for the player as well. The 21-year-old has the talent to succeed at the highest level, and he will look to fight for major trophies with the Premier League champions.
The £40 million agreement might seem expensive right now, but the 21-year-old is quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He has all the tools to develop into a top-class player, and he could justify the investment in the long run. Regular football at Liverpool could help him improve further and fulfil his tremendous potential. Liverpool will be able to offer him the platform to showcase his abilities in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Robertson has been a terrific servant for Liverpool over the years, and he has helped them win several major trophies. It will be interesting to see if the Hungarian can fill the void left by him. The Scottish international was excellent at both ends of the pitch, and the 21-year-old will be expected to establish himself as a complete full-back as well. It remains to be seen whether he can hit the ground running at Liverpool next season.
