Milos Kerkez’s clear indication that he wants to play for an “elite club” will not have gone unnoticed at Liverpool, nor will Andy Robertson ’s public outlook on his situation.

If Kerkez is set to be Liverpool’s next left-back, he would mark a distinct departure from Robertson and offer a more attacking presence from deep positions.

The Bournemouth left-back has provided seven goal involvements (compared to zero for Robertson from a higher expected goals and assists) and has made 74 positive ball carries to Robertson’s 54.

It’s clear, even on the eye, how impressive Kerkez is when it comes to driving in possession, as his outstanding recent assist against Tottenham Hotspur highlighted that.

Milos Kerkez posts better numbers for attacking output and dribbling.

Robertson also slightly outperforms the former AC Milan defender in defensive stats, with fewer errors leading to goals and a better tackling percentage.

Those stats can be partly explained by the differing styles of Liverpool and Bournemouth, with the latter encouraged to dribble more often and face more opposition attacks, while the Reds tend to have greater possession during games and need to patiently look for gaps to exploit.

But, it’s worth noting that Andoni Iraola specifically signed Kerkez to carry out that explosive role in the team, something that is relevant when considering where his best assets lie
