The 21-year-old defender, who tried out for the Premier League from AZ Alkmaar last summer, has been in great form this season. He has been in the starting line-up since the opening game of the season and can create chances from his intense up-and-down movement, while also being tenacious in defence.
He is one of the most promising young players in England and is likely to be good business for Liverpool. With Hungary international colleague Dominik Szoboszlai also in the squad, he is likely to settle in quickly at Anfield, but will he…?
With the average age of Liverpool’s left-back duo of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas increasing, there is a constant stream of reports surrounding their long-term successors.
While names such as Fulham defender Antonee Robinson have been mentioned, Hungarian defender Milos Kerkez, who has been in good form for Bournemouth, is one of the targets.
Referring to the player’s departure, Graeme Bailey reported that the club are not looking to let the young fullback go this winter and are planning to sell him to a strong club in exchange for a large fee in the transfer market next summer.
“Manchester United and Liverpool looked at Soler over the summer, he’s a very good player,”
“United have signed Diego Leon now so their interest has waned, I think Liverpool are still looking at him but I’m told that Bournemouth are trying to do it [sign Soler] in January.”
“That doesn’t mean Bournemouth will be open to letting Kerkez go in January, as they’re expecting him to move on in the summer for a hefty profit.”
“No club is confirmed favourite as yet, we know he’s on Liverpool’s list, but no more than that at this stage and I’m not convinced Richard Hughes will want to do a lot of business at Bournemouth.”
“Unless the deal is 100 per cent right for Liverpool, I don’t think he’ll pursue it. That’s not to say Kerkez won’t be.”
