Kerkez fuels Liverpool transfer speculation with comments on European dream

The Hungarian left-back, who made a £15.5m move to Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar in 2023, has continued to impress with his energetic performances at the Cherries.

This season, Kerkez has been a standout performer, contributing to seven goal involvements, including five assists, while maintaining a high level of consistency at left-back. His impressive form has made him one of Europe's most highly-rated young defenders.

Liverpool, who are reportedly looking for reinforcements in defence, have been consistently linked with the 21-year-old, and the player's recent comments suggest that he is open to a move. When asked about the speculation, the player admitted that he is aware of the transfer rumours but remains focused on his responsibilities at Bournemouth.

"It's natural to hear these things," Kerkez shared in a recent interview. "I don't pretend I don't notice the talks, but it doesn't affect how I approach my work. If people say good things, I just keep playing my game."

While the Cherries continue to fight for a European spot this season, currently sitting 10th in the Premier League, his future remains a topic of great interest.
