Kerkez excited for Liverpool journey to begin
In his first interview with the club, Kerkez didn’t hold back his excitement.
“I’m really happy,” he told Liverpool FC.
“It’s a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, [the] biggest club in England. I’m just really, really happy and excited.”
The Hungary international confirmed that he’ll enjoy a short break at home before returning to begin training.
“After this, I’ll go home and in my hometown enjoy a few days, and then I can’t really wait to come back and put the training kit on and start to train and prepare for the season.”
Kerkez arrives after two solid campaigns with Bournemouth, during which he made 74 appearances, scored twice, and provided eight assists.
He’s also represented Hungary 23 times at senior level and was a finalist for the 2023 Golden Boy award.
Sending a message to supporters, Kerkez added:
“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.”
Liverpool will confirm his squad number later this summer.
