Liverpool have won the Premier League this season, and now every team in the league will be doing their upmost next season to take it off them.

However, the Reds will be keen to retain it, and that means strengthening an already brilliant squad to be able to compete at the highest level once again.

Many names have been linked already, with the confirmation of Jeremie Frimpong’s arrival only adding to the idea that this could be a transformative summer for Liverpool.

A particularly impressive team this season has been Bournemouth, with a number of clubs now following the situations of their star players.

Liverpool still yet to make ‘formal approach’ for Milos Kerkez transfer – player ‘hopeful’	Liverpool transfer news: New 'formal bid' imminent as club want four players after Florian Wirtz	Journalist: Player has agreed Liverpool move, formal bid likely in coming days

Dean Huijsen, linked to Liverpool on several occasions, has already been snapped up by Real Madrid, but Liverpool remain very much in the race for his defensive partner Milos Kerkez.

Milos Kerkez has reportedly agreed personal terms with Liverpool, and now an update has just landed that signals a step forward in the Red’s pursuit of the Hungarian left-back.

Senior Football Correspondent for GiveMeSport Ben Jacobs reports that Liverpool are poised to submit a formal bid for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez in the coming days.

Bournemouth are looking for over £40 million for the player’s signature, but in the modern-day transfer market, that is a reasonable fee for a player of Kerkez’s talent who fits the mold of a Liverpool full-back.

Kerkez has recently come out and addressed the rumours linking him to Liverpool, citing it as a motivational tool rather than an ego boost.

Milos Kerkez’s arrival could open up a potential exit for Kostas Tsimikas who currently serves as Liverpool’s second choice left-back behind Andy Robertson but with the Hungarian’s arrival, it remains to be seen which player Slot will appoint next season as his number one in that position.

As Liverpool work to also wrap up the Florian Wirtz deal, this update on Milos Kerkez could mean he becomes Liverpool’s second summer signing and that is something fans can start to get excited about.
