Kerkez follows Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz in joining the Premier League champions

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of left-back Milos Kerkez.

Regarding the move, 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."

"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’s arrival continues what has already been a busy summer for the Premier League champions.

Liverpool acted quickly to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold after his departure to Real Madrid, with Jeremie Frimpong brought in for £29.5m.

Frimpong’s former Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Florian Wirtz has joined him at Anfield, after the Reds agreed a club record £116m deal for the German.

The signing of Kerkez has raised speculation over the future of Andy Robertson.

Recent reports have suggested that Atletico Madrid are keen to bring the left-back to Spain if he does decide to leave Liverpool this summer.
