“He will go to Liverpool” – Agent makes Liverpool transfer claim about left-back | OneFootball

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has had success in his first season at the club and his team is most likely going to win the Premier League.

With minimum spending, Slot has worked wonders at Anfield and he has managed to raise the level of the players that former manager Jurgen Klopp left behind.

One of the concerns for the Dutch manager is the left-back position where Andy Robertson has struggled to perform this season.

While the club could lose right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid at the end of the season, they could also replace Robertson in the starting line up.

The Reds have been linked with a move for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez who has impressed this season for Andoni Iraola’s side.

Anfield Watch talked to Richard Henczi, who is an agent and a former youth football coach about Kerkez potentially joining Slot’s team.

“I think he’s ready to go to a higher level club [than Bournemouth],” said Henczi.

“I mean he has everything [to be one of the best left-backs]. I think he can’t be in the top five left-backs around the world if he plays at a smaller club. So it depends on his next transfer – how many minutes will he play there and how well will he play there?

“[Do they] play in the UEFA Champions League or just the Europa League and you know, these kinds of decisions. If he gets the chance, I think he has everything to be in the top five or ten left-backs in the world.”

A new left-back is on the agenda for Liverpool and Kerkez is going to be among the players they will target in the summer transfer window.

Club legend Jamie Carragher has also urged the Reds to sign the Premier League star in order to address the issue of the left-back position.

Kerkez is would be the ideal left-back for the Merseyside club since he is equally good as an attacking option as he is as a defender.

Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri is another player which is on the shortlist
