Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez in recent weeks.
They have now been handed a major boost in their pursuit of the 21-year-old Hungarian left-back. According to ESPN, Bournemouth have now agreed on a deal to sign Adrien Truffert as a replacement for the Hungarian.
The development suggests that Kerkez is on his way out of the club this summer. Meanwhile, ESPN are also claiming that Liverpool have agreed a €45 million deal to sign the player and he has already agreed personal terms with the Premier League champions.

Kerkez has done quite well in the Premier League this past season, and he should prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool. They needed to sign a young left-back this summer. Andrew Robertson is clearly on the decline, and he has been linked with an exit from the club.
Kerkez would be a quality long-term replacement for the Liverpool fan favourite. It will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running and establish himself as a key player for Liverpool.
