Liverpool have been urged to push ahead with a move for Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez. Andy Robertson has been the Reds' first-choice left-back this season but has endured a difficult campaign. He endured a horror game against Arsenal in October before being sent off in Saturday's thrilling draw with Fulham.
His struggles have led to suggestions that it is time for the 30-year-old to be replaced. The January transfer window offers the chance to do just that, with Kerkez seen as a top target following his impressive performances for the Cherries.And Liverpool have now been urged to firm up their interest in the Hungarian by former star Dietmar Hamann.
The German believes the left-back area is a position that the Reds need to look at in the upcoming window. "Milos Kerkez is a brilliant player. We see it time and time again in the Premier League. If you play well, you will gain a lot of interest," Hamann told Boyle Sports. "Andy Robertson is in his late 20s and Kostas Tsimikas is a great back up - but he has wanted to leave for the past two seasons now. It’s a position Liverpool should definitely look at.
"Robertson is a great player who is having a dip at the moment. If there is a player with the level of Kerkez or Alphonso Davies, why not go for it. Milos Kerkez reminds me of John Arne Riise a lot. "Riise liked to bomb forward and was a very attacking left back. He had a great strike on him. It’s a bonus if you have a fullback who defends very well and is able to score, set goals up and cross a few balls in. It makes the game a lot easier.".
