Liverpool have completed the capture of Milos Kerkez in a £40million deal from Bournemouth, with the highly-rated Hungary international becoming the club's third summer signing.

Two goalkeepers, £29m Valencia and Georgia stopper Giorgi Mamardasvili and Armin Pecsi, for a relatively meagre £1.5m from Puskas Academia have also joined.

Now they add Kerkez to their number, one of the Premier League's most promising young left-backs having earmarked him as the long-term successor to long-time Anfield stalwart Andy Robertson - whose own future is up in the air, with interest from Atletico Madrid and only one year left on his contract.

Kerkez, 21, started all 38 games for Bournemouth in the Premier League last season, scoring two goals and assisting six times to help his team finish in ninth place.

The Hungary international said: "I'm really happy.

I'm just really, really happy and excited.

"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.

"I just want to thank everyone for really showing me big love, even before it will be announced now.

And see you soon."

Kerkez has 23 caps for Hungary to date after making his international bow in a UEFA Nations League contest with Germany back in September 2022.

He has been shortlisted for the 2024-25 Men's PFA Young Player of the Year and was a finalist for the 2023 Golden Boy award, which recognises the best European-based talent under the age of 21.
