It's incredible to think what Arne Slot stands on the brink of achieving at Liverpool.

A massive 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, Slot's side are in danger of making the Premier League title race a procession if it's not that already.

And that's not all.



The Reds will look to pick up their first silverware of this season and retain the trophy they won last season when they face Newcastle United in Sunday's Carabao Cup at Wembley.

And before then there's the little matter of this evening's Champions League round-of-16 second-leg showdown against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield.

Andy Robertson is a Liverpool legend but at 31, his time on Merseyside is closer to the end than it was to the beginning and doubts remain over whether Kostas Tsimikas can be the Scotland captain's long-term successor.

However, one left-back who could well fit that bill is Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez.

Hughes knows all about the 21-year-old given he was the man who brought him to the Cherries and the Premier League.

Kerkez, a Hungary international team-mate of Reds midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, enhanced his growing reputation with a stunning run and cross for Marcus Tavernier to open the scoring in Bournemouth's chaotic 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Kerkez is very much on Liverpool's radar and pundit Troy Deeney can understand exactly why.

Naming the defender in his Team of the Week on BBC Sport, Deeney purred in appreciation as he wrote: “For me he is one of the best left-backs in world football already.

He is exceptional with the ball and without it, runs all day and has loads of room to grow.

“It is not surprising that Liverpool have been linked to him.”

Journalist Fabrizio Romano said of the Reds' interest in Kerkez in GiveMeSport: "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.
