Liverpool's pursuit of Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez could be ramped up a notch in the coming weeks.

The Cherries' left-back has been consistently linked with a move to Anfield in recent months.

Bournemouth is believed to value Kerkez at around $60 million (£45 million), amid interest from Liverpool.



The Reds have added Kerkez to their summer target shortlist, although the Hungary international isn't the only player they're eyeing.

The summer transfer window is now open and Liverpool has already bolstered its full-back options with the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.

This news comes in the wake of last week's report, which suggested that Bournemouth had pinpointed Marseille defender Quentin Merlin as a possible successor to Kerkez.

Tuesday's report implies that two left-backs are now on the Cherries' radar, seemingly indicating that they don't anticipate Kerkez being part of their squad next season.

Liverpool presently has Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas as its left-back choices
