Man Utd and Liverpool show “increased interest” in Kerkez
manchester united and Liverpool They are reportedly the most interested in signing AFC Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, according to Caught offside.
After arriving at the Cerezos last year, the 21-year-old has established himself as a key piece in Andoni Iraola's starting eleven. He helped his team finish in mid-table in the first division last term and have enjoyed a bright start to this season.
In 19 league games, he has contributed to three goals and kept four clean sheets. The Hungarian helped his team keep a clean sheet in the victory over Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and United.
In addition, the young man gave two assists in the 2-1 victory against city of manchester. Bournemouth are now just two points behind fifth place. Newcastle UnitedEdit.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see that Kerkez has attracted a lot of attention from several big English clubs ahead of the January window. Caught offside affirm that Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have shown interest in him, but Liverpool and Man Utd have shown the “most interest” in securing his service.
Battle
The Reds want to strengthen the left side of the defense, as Andy Robertson will turn 32 next year and has not been able to show his best this season.
Bournemouth have no intention of letting their star player leave just yet, with the defender still having over three and a half years left on his current contract. But, if they are forced to cash in, then they will want around £50m.
The report says Kerkez is not the only option on Liverpool and Man Utd's wish list to bolster their defensive line, with Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, Fulham's Antonee Robinson and Girona's Miguel Gutiérrez also on their radar.
Man Utd have been struggling with the left-back position due to Luke Shaw's injury absence, while Tyrell Malacia has not been at his best of late after returning from a long injury layoff.
Therefore, signing a new LWB is an absolute necessity for Rubén Amorim's team. However, it will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions or the Merseyside club eventually sign Kerkez to strengthen the defensive department in January or at the end of this season.
