Milos Kerkez praised Andy Robertson for helping to settle at Liverpool following his summer transfer

Milos Kerkez says Andy Robertson will be the perfect sounding board for him in his maiden season at Liverpool, describing his colleague as an Anfield "legend".

Kerkez, 21, joined the Reds from Bournemouth over the summer in a £40m deal and has started the three games so far this term as Arne Slot's champions have won all of their Premier League fixtures.

Robertson, meanwhile, is now into his ninth campaign at the club and was recently handed the vice captaincy by Slot to succeed Trent Alexander-Arnold as Virgil van Dijk's second-in-command.

Kerkez thinks there is no better role model to have than Robertson as the Hungary captain looks to become the long-term successor for the Scotland skipper on the left side of the defence at Liverpool.

“Obviously, you can say he’s a legend here already and he did a lot of amazing stuff,” Kerkez told Stadium Astro.

“For me it’s great to have someone like that and of course we are talking.

“He helps everyone, not just me, he’s the vice-captain and he’s really holding the locker room well.

"For me, I’m honoured to have someone like that next to me, so I can continue to improve in the coming years also.

He’s going to help me in that.”

Kerkez turned in perhaps his best performance as a Liverpool player to date before the international break when Arsenal were beaten 1-0 at Anfield to maintain the champions' 100% start to the campaign.

He added: “[The Premier League] is a couple levels above any league, you could see the intensity [against Arsenal].

I think everyone was a little bit out of breath after 15 minutes already, because it was up and down.

“That’s the Premier League, it’s big games.

And you need to have big lungs for this league, especially for these games.

It’s levels above any league.”

Kerkez is likely to be involved when Marco Rossi's men are hosted by the Republic of Ireland on Saturday evening in a World Cup qualifier in Dublin.
