Liverpool agree £40m deal to sign Kerkez from Bournemouth

Liverpool have agreed a £40m deal to sign left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.
The 21-year-old Hungary international is set to join the Premier League champions after two seasons with the Cherries.
Bournemouth have already signed Adrien Truffert from Rennes as his replacement.
Liverpool's deal for Kerkez comes with the Reds close to completing a club-record £116m move for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz.
They have also signed Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from the German club for £29.5m.
Serbia-born Kerkez began his senior career at Hungarian side Gyor before a move to Italian club AC Milan.
He failed to make an appearance for the Serie A outfit before a switch to Dutch team AZ Alkmaar in January 2022.
He helped AZ Alkmaar finish fourth in the Dutch top flight in 2022-23 when he scored five goals and provided seven assists in 52 appearances.
The Eredivisie side also reached the semi-finals of the 2022-23 Europa Conference League before being beaten by eventual winners West Ham.
Kerkez joined Bournemouth in summer 2023 when Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes worked for the Cherries.
He played all 38 league games last season as Bournemouth finished ninth with a club-record 56 Premier League points, with Kerkez contributing two goals and six assists.
Kerkez, who has made 23 appearances for Hungary, joins compatriot Dominik Szoboszlai at Liverpool.
