Liverpool has reportedly made its move for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez as Arne Slot looks to get business done early in the transfer market.

The Premier League champions are closing in on the acquisition of Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, who underwent the first part of his medical on Sunday.

According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has approached Bournemouth over a move for Kerkez, who has hinted at a move in the last few days.

Kerkez has long been considered Liverpool's top target ahead of the summer transfer window, with Slot eager to upgrade Andy Robertson.

Greek star Kostas Tsimikas appears set to depart Anfield, having failed to really crack through into the first team since his arrival in 2020.

Should Kerkez arrive, Tsimikas would essentially become third-choice left-back, and it's been reported newly-promoted Leeds United is interested.

For his part, Kerkez is reportedly eager to make the move to Anfield, having inadvertently flirted with Reds fans throughout the season after posing with Dominic Szoboszlai on multiple occasions.

Personal terms aren't said to be an issue, with the clubs now left to negotiate the transfer fee.
