Ajax and Norwich City close to agreement on Medic
Jakov Medic (26) is leaving Ajax. The club has almost reached an agreement with Norwich City on the transfer of the Croatian, for which Ajax will receive approximately two million euros.
The transfer is still subject to formalities and paperwork, but Ajax and Norwich City have almost reached an agreement on the fee. The Amsterdammers will receive around two million for Medic. This could increase slightly due to bonuses. Ajax paid around three million to St. Pauli for Medic in 2023.

Medic will be remembered at Ajax for his wonder goal in his debut match against Heracles Almelo, but after that, the defender mainly sat on the bench. Ajax loaned Medic to VfL Bochum last season. The club had an option to buy, which was only valid if they stayed in the Bundesliga, but they were relegated.

What would Kerkez bring to Liverpool?
In terms of how Liverpool play football, transfer target Milos Kerkez appears the perfect full-back. Although Jurgen Klopp's 'heavy metal' style of fast-paced, high-pressing football has been adapted by Arne Slot, the fundamentals of aggressive pressing - albeit in a more structured way - and trying to win the ball high up the pitch still remain. Advertisement The 21-year-old recovered the ball 169 times last season - the fifth-most of any defender in the Premier League and more than any Liverpool defender. He also won the ball in the Cherries' attacking third 11 times - the ninth most of defenders in the division and again more than any of his potential future Reds team-mates. Trent Alexander-Arnold, a fundamental source of creativity, has already departed Anfield, with Andy Robertson also linked with an exit. Should the deal be completed, Kerkez is seen as a long-term replacement for the left-back role the Scotland international has made his own over the last eight years. In a Bournemouth team that eventually finished ninth, the Hungary international created 34 chances from open play - the seventh most by a defender - and registered five assists which placed him joint-fourth in that ranking. His 142 crosses were the sixth-most - behind Robertson in fifth and Alexander-Arnold in fourth and his eight big chances created was the seventh most among defenders - a metric topped by the man now at Real Madrid. Advertisement In terms of ball progression, Kerkez passed into the final third 476 times - the tenth most times of any Premier League defender - behind the Reds' two first choice full-backs last season. No Liverpool defender completed more dribbles than his 22. Translating such form from a side punching above their weight to a team now expected to win almost every match is never a forgone conclusion, but the statistics show Kerkez is well placed to adapt at Anfield both in terms of what Arne Slot requires from his full-backs both defensively and offensively. The prospect of him playing alongside players of a higher standard is likely to excite Liverpool fans - and potentially ease the blow of losing at least one of their two first choice full-backs. *All stats provided by Opta
