Liverpool complete signing of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez

Liverpool have completed the £40million signing of Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez on a five-year contract.

The 21-year-old is the club’s third arrival this summer, following Jeremie Frimpong and club-record transfer Florian Wirtz.

And with Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili joining next month in a deal done 12 months ago there will be more than £200million of new talent present when pre-season training starts in a fortnight.

Kerkez, who links up with fellow Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield, is viewed as the long-term successor to 31-year-old Andy Robertson, who is a target for Atletico Madrid.

It is understood the club have no intention of forcing out the Scotland international, who started in 29 of his 33 Premier League appearances last season but is in the final year of his contract.
