'Brilliant' and 'a real character' - Liverpool sign Kerkez for 40m
Briefly

Liverpool's recent acquisition of left-back Milos Kerkez for £40m has pushed their summer transfer spending to approximately £170m. The 21-year-old Hungarian international joins the Reds on a five-year contract, completing Liverpool's third major signing alongside Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. Despite a challenging time at AC Milan earlier in his career, Kerkez shone at Bournemouth, starting every Premier League match last season. His move to Liverpool represents a significant opportunity, enhancing one of England's top football clubs' defensive options as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Kerkez expressed, "It's a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, [the] biggest club in England."
After his transfer, Kerkez reflected on his previous experience at AC Milan, stating, "you don't turn down Maldini. With hindsight, he possibly wishes he had."
