Left-back Milos Kerkez arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2025 after completing a switch from AFC Bournemouth.

The Hungary international caught the eye of the Reds after two impressive seasons in the Premier League on the south coast.

Kerkez racked up 74 appearances with the Cherries in all competitions and displayed the attacking side to his game by registering eight assists and two goals.

He moved to Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar in the build-up to 2023-24, having enjoyed a year-and-a-half stint in the Netherlands.

Born in Serbia, Kerkez's journey in football began in the academy of OFK Vrbas prior to moving to Austria and Rapid Wien's youth set-up.

The defender was on the move to another country again when he joined Hungarian side ETO FC Gyor, where he would earn senior opportunities.

Kerkez's debut came as a 16-year-old in August 2020 by starting a match in the country's second tier.

His talent caught the eye of AC Milan in 2021, signing for the Italian heavyweights following a phone call with defensive great Paolo Maldini.

Kerkez was unable to break through at San Siro but would receive the senior outings he craved while at AZ.

Early into his first full season in the Eredivisie, Kerkez earned an international debut with Hungary, whom he qualifies to play for through his grandmother.

Marco Rossi handed the youngster his bow in a UEFA Nations League contest with Germany on September 23, 2022.

At the European Championship in 2024, Kerkez became Hungary's youngest player to appear in the tournament for 60 years.

Kerkez's hugely encouraging development was recognised when he was named as a finalist for the 2023 Golden Boy, an award that celebrates the best footballers under the age of 21 playing in Europe, and then nominated for the 2024-25 Men's PFA Young Player of the Year.

His career will continue with the Premier League champions after becoming the fourth addition to Arne Slot's squad ahead of 2025-26.
