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

Barcelona star drops Nico Williams hint on social media
A leading member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Thursday made clear his excitement with the prospect of Nico Williams arriving at the club. The player in question? Alejandro Balde. Advertisement The name of wide-man Nico has of course dominated the headlines in Catalunya's capital across the day to date. This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the 22-year-old has agreed on the personal terms of a contract with Hansi Flick's Barcelona. It is now up to the Camp Nou brass to activate Nico's Athletic Club release clause. And as alluded to above, one current member of Hansi Flick's squad who appears to be very much happy that his fellow countryman's proposed Blaugrana switch is moving in the right direction is Alejandro Balde. After stumbling across transfer insider Fabrizio Romano's Instagram post, confirming Barca's agreement with Nico, left-back Balde responded with a simple 'like': Conor Laird – GSFN
