Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai has shown his support for Bournemouth's in-demand defender Milos Kerkez following his recent performance, with some interpreting the message as a transfer hint ahead of the summer transfer winndow.

On Sunday, Kerkez provided an excellent assist for Marcus Tavernier's opening goal after intercepting a Spurs attack and delivering a cross from deep.

Given Liverpool's connections with Bournemouth, following Richard Hughes' move from the south coast to Merseyside in the summer, rumours have surfaced that Kerkez could head to Anfield this summer.



After his North London display, the defender took to social media where he received support from his close friend and international teammate Szoboszlai, who responded with a heart and clapping emoji on Instagram - a responsethat was inundated with messages from Liverpool fans.

Liverpool's defence has been the subject of several transfer rumours recently, particularly concerning the future of Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson, with the latter facing scrutiny over some rare errors this season.

Eyes are now turning to a potential new recruit, as it seems Liverpool's new sporting director is favouring young sensation Kerkez to bolster the full-back position.

Speaking on the interest, Fabrizio Romano told GiveMeSport stated: "It's not something guaranteed or agreed at this stage, it's still early; but Liverpool want to bring in a new left-back in the summer as well as a centre-back and Kerkez is one of three main names on the shortlist already approved by Arne Slot.

"Contacts are expected to follow and continue in the next months; Liverpool's interest is genuine and concrete, as the 'world-class' Kerkez is attracted by Champions League football for his future and there's a chance to make the deal happen this summer.

"Now we wait for the next weeks to understand when and how the contacts will continue."
