Liverpool earlier confirmed the signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.

In the same day, Andy Robertson's future appears to have taken a new turn.

There is little doubt that Kerkez is intended as the successor to Robertson.



It might indicate that Robertson is ready to stay another year.

Over the course of a long season, he and Kerkez could certainly share some of the workload.

"I had a conversation with my brothers and we always say that, also for me personally, Robbo is the best left-back that played in the Premier League, for me, and my brothers agree on that also.

"So, to come and to be next to such a player who has so much experience, played so many years on a high level, won the Champions League and everything, it's important for me.

Kerkez may need time to adjust, and will certainly need to adapt to a significantly higher game load than he has previously experienced.

It has made a habit of going deep in the domestic cups over the last few years too, and even the familiar 38-game Premier League season will mark a new level of intensity for Kerkez at Anfield
