Liverpool target Milos Kerkez drops transfer hint after final game of season
Liverpool transfer target Milos Kerkez said he "doesn't know what will happen in the next week" after Bournemouth's final game of the Premier League season. The Hungarian has been one of the best left-backs in England over the course of the campaign, starting in each of the Cherries' 38 games. He has been linked with a move to Anfield for several months, and reports last week suggested talks had taken place between Liverpool and Kerkez over a possible transfer. The 21-year-old did nothing to quell that speculation as he wrote on Instagram: "38 games, 38 started, we finished the job and broke the record.

"Of course nothing would be possible without my family — I don't know what will happen in the next week but, Cherries family, thank you." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Milos Kerkez (@miloskerkezofficial) Andy Robertson endured a difficult season on an individual level, and Kostas Tsimikas could leave Liverpool this summer to make way for a new left-back addition. Bournemouth signed a new left-back, Julio Soler, 20, from the Argentinian team Lanus during the January transfer window. While he was not signed as a direct replacement for Kerkez, Soler's arrival would no doubt smooth over any possible exit for the Liverpool target. Kerkez left the door more than slightly ajar for a departure from Bournemouth earlier this season. In an interview with The Athletic, he was asked whether he sees the next step in his career as being a "return to one of Europe's elite clubs". Kerkez, who was previously on AC Milan's books, responded: 'As a kid, you dream to play at the highest level, win the trophies, be on the best teams. 'These are the things that my agent is on. My dad is on. When someone comes (in for you) you never know what's going to happen or where you're going to end up. In the summer, we will see what happens.' In other transfer news, Liverpool is also closing in on a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen after the Netherlands international successfully underwent his medical last week, while the Reds are also firm favorites to sing Florian Wirtz after appearing to edge out Bayern Munich in the battle to sign the Germany international.

Time to 'put flesh on the bones' of stadium plans?
As I anticipated on these pages at the beginning of January, Bournemouth have made it through the mid-season transfer window without losing any of their stars - despite the best efforts of some media outlets to predict significant Cherries may still lose one or two of their prize assets in the summer - it remains part of the business model for clubs the size of Bournemouth, Brighton or Brentford to have a big sale every year or two to balance the books - but that is a question to be addressed in a few months' January's recruitment has leaned towards the medium and long term. While Julio Soler fills the gaping hole of left-back cover, the other three new arrivals all fit into the "one for the future" category, notably the deadline day arrival of teenage French forward Eli Junior Kroupi from sister club Lorient, where he will remain on loan for the rest of the of interest to fans this week was owner Bill Foley's interview with the US-based "Men In Blazers" podcast, where he dropped some tantalising morsels relating to the Cherries' new stadium the new training ground at Canford Magna set to open soon, Bournemouth have been vacillating for a while over whether to redevelop the current Vitality Stadium site, or seek to build a brand new stadium, most likely on land currently hosting the soon-to-be-vacated training pitches and the King's Park athletics despite recent broad hints from within the club that the latter option was preferred, Foley's interview spoke of wanting to "dig down" on the current site to raise the capacity to around 19,000, with the option of increasing it by a further 3,000-4,000 said the design was "well on the way" but as ever, there remain unanswered questions as to some of the details. Would such a large-scale refurbishment include buying the ground back from landlords Structadene? What would be the timescale of such a project, and would the team be able to continue playing at Vitality Stadium during construction? And if not, where?Hopefully 2025 should be the year when the club puts some flesh on the bones of its stadium plans.
