Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40m. The left-back is to undergo a medical next week before signing a five-year deal with the Premier League champions.

The 21-year-old Hungary international has enjoyed two impressive seasons with Bournemouth after joining from AZ in July 2023, helping them finish ninth last season. Liverpool already have two left-backs in Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas. The former is of interest to Atlético Madrid and the latter could well leave after spending five years largely as a back-up to the Scotland captain.

Bournemouth have already brought in a replacement for Kerkez – Adrien Truffert from Rennes, who will battle with the January arrival Julio Soler for a starting place under Andoni Iraola next season.

Liverpool are working hard in the transfer market. They have already completed a £29.5m deal for the right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen and are close to signing Florian Wirtz from the Bundesliga club. The Germany playmaker had a medical on Friday in preparation for a £100m move to Merseyside.

There is likely to be further dealings between Liverpool and Leverkusen with the two clubs in talks over a deal for Jarell Quansah. The centre-back, who is currently representing England at the European Under-21 Championship, is valued at more than £30m by the Anfield club. Quansah made his first-team debut early in Jürgen Klopp’s final season in charge and performed so well that he ended the campaign as a regular starter alongside Virgil van Dijk. But the 22-year-old struggled for minutes under Arne Slot last season and now appears poised to move to Germany.
