00:00Arnie Schlott has reportedly approved Liverpool's potential move for Milos Kerkes, with the
00:08Hungary international heavily linked to the club ahead of the summer transfer window.
00:14Kerkes has been in fine form for AFC Bournemouth this season, registering five assists and
00:20scoring two goals, including a crucial assist in their 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
00:28The 21-year-old has helped Bournemouth push for a historic qualification for European
00:34football.
00:35Liverpool are expected to strengthen their squad this summer, despite cruising to the
00:40Premier League title, with left-back being a priority.
00:45Andy Robertson, now 31, needs a long-term successor, and Costa Cimicaz has failed to
00:50establish himself as a reliable first-choice option.
00:55Kerkes' performances this season make him a popular choice among fans, and he has proven
01:00Premier League experience which makes him a fitting candidate.
01:06According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Kerkes is one of three players on
01:11Liverpool's shortlist for left-back, and Schlott has reportedly given his approval for the
01:17potential signing.
01:19Liverpool are set to continue contacting Kerkes' representatives.
01:25Romano confirmed that Liverpool's interest is serious, with Kerkes reportedly attracted
01:30by the prospect of Champions League football.
01:35In addition to Kerkes, Liverpool are also monitoring Ajax's Gerald Hatto, an 18-year-old
01:41highly regarded for his versatility, and already boasting over 100 appearances for Ajax.
01:47Another name in the mix is Girona's Miguel Gutierrez, though Girona's ties to Manchester
01:52City owners could complicate matters.
01:56Schlott has acknowledged that Liverpool may look to strengthen every position in the summer,
02:02with key players like Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold yet to sign
02:07new contracts, potentially influencing the club's transfer plans.
