Jamie Carragher to get Liverpool transfer dream as £50m star approached over move

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher could get his transfer wish after reports Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez would favour a move to Anfield should he leave the club. The Reds are seeking a long-term successor to Andy Robertson, who is about to turn 31 and has been been criticised over some under-par displays this season.
Kerkez, meanwhile, has enjoyed a terrific campaign for Bournemouth and has played a huge part in the Cherries flying high in the league under boss Andoni Iraola. The 21-year-old has one goal and three assists for Bournemouth, starting all 21 of their Premier League games so far, and it seems inevitable he will join a top six side in the near future.
While Bournemouth are not looking to offload Kerkez in this window, it's been reported by the i Paper that Anfield would be the £50million-rated star's preferred destination if he did depart the Vitality Stadium. Liverpool's other option at left-back is Kostas Tsimikas but Carragher doesn't believe he is a strong enough back-up option - saying Kerkez would be a much better option after hailing him as a "revelation" in December.
"We've just spoken about Liverpool 's left-back situation and the fact Andy Robertson needs help, Now listen, he's been a revelation at Bournemouth. The only reason why I mention Liverpool is that fact that, yes they are probably looking for someone in that position, but also because the sporting director who brought him to Bournemouth is now the sporting director at Liverpool.
"He's aggressive, he's got pace. Even when you look at him he looks like a full-back, small, really aggressive and after wingers on that side. He's been superb since he's come into the Premier League for Bournemouth and it's one to watch for the future whether he stays or leaves.".
