Liverpool will start talks with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez as a priority target for the left-back position. Kerkez is having a great season for Bournemouth, he recently got 2 assists in Bournemouth’s shocking victory over Manchester City.
The left-back position has been a talking point in Arne Slot’s team. Andy Robertson has not been up to his levels, his lack of pre-season could be the reason for that. However the club is looking to strengthen the left side of their defense.
