Liverpool’s summer revamp under Arne Slot is gathering pace, and the latest new face to arrive at Anfield is a name fans may want to get familiar with — and fast. Milos Kerkez, the 21-year-old left-back from AFC Bournemouth, has completed his move to the Premier League champions and wasted no time in sending a message to the fans.
Kerkez has signed a long-term contract after passing his medical at the AXA Training Centre. The Hungary international arrives for a reported fee of £40 million, following strong performances with Bournemouth and plenty of promise on the international stage.
The full-back made 74 appearances during his time with the Cherries, and has already represented Hungary 23 times. Now, he steps into the spotlight at Anfield, potentially as a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson — but no pressure, right?
He becomes the third signing of the summer for Liverpool after Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, showing clear intent from the club to refresh the squad for another title push.
For Kerkez, it’s a chance to learn, compete, and possibly become the next big name on the left flank.

What Milos Kerkez said on playing for Liverpool FC?
In his first words to the club’s media (via Liverpoolfc.com), Kerkez shared his excitement:
“I’m really happy. I just want to thank everyone for really showing me big love, even before it will be announced now.”
He added a message directly to the fans:
“Keep supporting the team like you support always, because you’re the biggest fan base in the world. I’m going to give everything – absolutely everything – to win trophies with the club and to hopefully score some goals at Anfield. I can’t wait to hear the roar. And see you soon.”
Now that’s one way to introduce yourself. Milos clearly knows how to make a tackle and a first impression.
With Robertson nearing the end of his contract and Kostas Tsimikas attracting interest, the road could open quickly for Kerkez to make his mark.
His attacking numbers from last season suggest he’s not shy going forward — a trait Liverpool fans have grown to love in their full-backs.
