  • Kerkez becomes the club’s third major arrival of the window after Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, contributing to a total spend above £200m.
  • The 21-year-old is viewed as the long-term successor to Andy Robertson, who is attracting interest from Atlético Madrid.

  • Liverpool are targeting a younger centre-back to replace Quansah as head coach Arne Slot continues his summer squad reshaping.
