Liverpool are being linked with two Bournemouth players as part of the latest transfer rumour mill.

The Reds have less than two months to wait before they are able to go into the transfer market to strengthen their squad.

Arne Slot has enjoyed an impressive first season as Liverpool's head coach, with the Reds just one point away from winning the Premier League title.



Even though Liverpool are on the verge of making history, they are still being linked with several potential new signings for this summer.

The transfer window will open in June, and it remains to be seen which players will be on Liverpool's shortlist for the summer.

Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez has been linked with a move to Anfield and is not the only member of the Cherries squad to be credited as a potential target ahead of the summer.
