Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool are keen signing Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in th esummer transfer window. However, a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has claimed that the Reds are leading the race for the Hungarian international.
Kerkez will cost £50 million in the summer, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to pay up. It is no secret that they need to sign a quality left-back in the summer. Andrew Robertson has been quite underwhelming this season, and he is clearly on the decline. Liverpool will need an upgrade on the Scottish international in the summer, and the Hungarian international would be the ideal long-term investment for them.
Liverpool have the finances to get the deal across the line, and they must ensure that they sign the talented young defender. The fact that Liverpool have Dominik Szoboszlai at their disposal could help them get the deal done. The Liverpool midfielder could play a role in convincing his compatriot to join the Reds.
Arsenal need a quality left-back as well. Oleksandr Zinchenko is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, and Kerkez would be the ideal replacement. Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to play for them can be quite exciting. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official offer to design the defender in the coming weeks.
As far as Manchester City are concerned, they have not had a reliable left-back for a while. They have been using Josko Gvardiol as their left-back this season, but the Croatian international is more suited to the role of a central defender. Pep Guardiola has used Nico O’Reilly as the left-back as well.
The talented youngster has impressed in recent weeks, but Manchester City need more experience in that area of the pitch. Having someone like Kerkez would be ideal for them. It will be interesting to see where the talented young defender ends up eventually.
