Milos Kerkez has jumped the gun and seemingly announced his move to Liverpool.

The Bournemouth left-back is expected to leave Bournemouth for Anfield in the coming days in a deal, with both clubs in talks over a deal worth at least £40million.

It is set to be a busy week for Liverpool, who are set to welcome Florian Wirtz to their Melwood training ground to complete a medical ahead of a club-record-smashing £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen.

Kerkez has been tipped as the long-term successor to Andy Robertson, who turned 31 years old in March and is now attracting interest from Atletico Madrid in Spain.

But that has not stopped him greeting his soon-to-be-new fans.

Speaking on a live stream with a Serbia-based Liverpool supporters group, the Bournemouth full-back reportedly said: "Hi!

Greetings to all Liverpool fans."

He was also pictured holding up a flag of the Liverpool supporter group.

One fan replied with: “A legend already.

He love us (sic).” Another added: “He’s announced himself.”

Another support mused that “he must have signed his contract because these no way he would risk putting the transfer at risk because he couldn’t keep his mouth closed (sic.)”

One concerned fan offered: “I hope Bournemouth fans don't get upset with this....

Except this guy has already signed.”

Bournemouth have already signed Kerkez's replacement, announcing the £14.5m signing of Adrien Truffert from Rennes earlier this week.

Kerkez would seemingly replace Robertson as first-choice left-back, with Kostas Tsimikas remaining as manager Arne Slot’s back-up option.
