Liverpool are back in action on Saturday after what feels like an age without football.

The Reds have not played since July 13th, when they beat Preston North End 3-1 on an emotional day dedicated to Diogo Jota.

Since then, Liverpool have flown out to Hong Kong, signed Hugo Ekitike and made a stunning approach for Alexander Isak.

Should Isak join Ekitike in being a new addition to the Liverpool squad, he would be another piece of what has been perhaps the best summer window of all-time at Anfield.

Milos Kerkez is another who has joined, having had a hugely impressive two-year spell with Bournemouth.

After playing in the Premier League for two seasons, Kerkez will not have to acclimatise to England or to the league.

However, the 21-year-old has admitted that he has still been left surprised after moving to Liverpool.

If Liverpool do sign Isak, then his arrival alongside Florian Wirtz in particular will rightly take the headlines.

However, Kerkez is an exciting addition as well.

His pace, full-throttle style and attacking threat make him the ideal successor for Andy Robertson.

Nevertheless, fans should still be mindful that the gap between Bournemouth and Liverpool remains a big one.

And speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Kerkez illustrated the difference in standards expected with the Reds.

“Of course I know it is one of the biggest clubs in the world and when I came it just surprised me also how professional everything is and how high a level everything is,” said the Hungarian, when asked if anything had ‘surprised’ him since joining Liverpool.

“And that you really have to work hard every single day to compete.

According to Kerkez, though, there was nothing unusual about what he did at all.

“It was a foul even before that I think, but then I saw the referee was not giving anything,” he said.

I think it was a foul.

“It’s me, you know, it’s how I play – I always give 100 per cent.

“When you play for Liverpool you have to always give everything on the pitch for the fans and for the badge, and that’s what I want to do.”
