Kerkez excited to join ‘biggest club in England’ Liverpool as he completes move from Bournemouth | OneFootball

Milos Kerkez says it is an “honour” to join “the biggest club in England” Liverpool after completing his move from Bournemouth.

The Premier League Champions have officially unveiled Kerkez as their latest signing of the summer transfer window, with the 21-year-old left-back arriving from Bournemouth in a deal worth £40 million.

The Hungarian international has signed a five-year contract that will keep him at Anfield until 2030.

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

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, 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.

“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.”

Kerkez is the third major addition of the window following the arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong (£29m) and Florian Wirtz (£116m) from Bayer Leverkusen. Goalkeepers Armin Pecsi (£3m) and Giorgi Mamardashvili (£29m, agreed last summer) have also joined in what has been a busy summer so far for the club.

Kerkez’s arrival strengthens Liverpool’s options at left-back and adds further depth to a young, ambitious squad, while there is also uncertainty around the future of Andy Robertson.

He also becomes the third Hungarian player at the club, joining captain Dominik Szoboszlai and goalkeeper Armin Pecsi.

His attacking flair, work rate, and defensive maturity have marked him out as one of the league’s brightest young full-backs. Now, he will look to make his mark at Anfield and help push Liverpool towards more silverware under head coach Arne Slot.

Kerkez’s first match in Liverpool colours could be their pre-season friendly against Preston North End on 13 July.
