Liverpool want to replace Andy Robertson with Milos Kerkez
Liverpool They have reportedly identified AFC Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez as one of the serious options to replace Andy Robertson, according to the daily mail.
With each passing game, the left-back position has become a cause of concern for Arne Slot. Robertson has been the Reds' first choice over the years, but hasn't looked solid at all this season.
Recorded a penalty against Southampton in the first division and also did the same versus real Madrid in it champions league. Furthermore, he received a red card in the last match against Fulham and his team only managed to come away with one point from this match.
Now, the daily mail They claim Liverpool will “look” to improve this position in the upcoming January window and have already started including names on their short list.
Konstantinos Tsimikas is an option at Slot's disposal, but he has had injury problems in recent years and never managed to challenge for a first-team place.
Kerkez to Liverpool
The report says Fulham's Antonee Robinson is on Slot's wish list but he will turn 28 next year and Liverpool want a younger option. Wolverhampton Wanderers star Rayan Ait-Nouri and Bayern Munich player Alphonso Davies have also been mentioned as potential targets.
But the realistic option is Kerkez and Slot is “fond” of him, even wanting to sign him at Feyenoord during his time as coach there.
The 21-year-old has a good relationship with compatriot and Liverpool ace Dominik Szoboszlai and the Merseyside club's sporting director Richard Hughes signed the Hungarian at the Vitality Stadium during his time as manager there. So, these few factors could help Liverpool secure his service.
Having joined the Cherries last year, the youngster is still under contract until 2028 with Andoni Iraola's side, so they are likely to demand a considerable amount of money to sell him and he is valued at around £17m per Transfer market.
Kerkez is a dynamic player and could be a big coup for Liverpool for the long-term future if they acquire him. However, it will be interesting to see if the Anfield club ultimately opts to sign him to strengthen their defence.
