Kerkez and Iraola's Bournemouth Reunion"I’m really happy they’re here. I think we had really great times together in Bournemouth and when I saw that he [Iraola] was coming...



I was obviously really happy."When Iraola first arrived at Bournemouth in the summer of 2023, one of his very first new recruits was Kerkez. I think it suits Liverpool... it’s going to be really exciting... he likes to play direct, high, front-foot, and I think that’s perfect also for me"Following May's miserable 4-2 defeat at Villa Park, the now departed Mohamed Salah called for Liverpool to "go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear".

Kerkez looks ahead to pre-season"I’m really happy to be back. I missed training, I missed the ball, so I’m really happy to be here... we are focused and working towards the new season."On top of this, Kerkez added that, after three weeks on holiday, he was desperate to get back on the pitch, most-recently in action during Hungary's friendly victory over Finland at the Puskás Aréna on 5 June.
