He becomes Liverpool’s fourth new recruit of the window.

Milos Kerkez’s transfer to Liverpool is ‘basically a done deal’, according to the Bournemouth left-back’s father.

Liverpool have already agreed a £116 million deal for Florian Wirtz and are now on course to finalise their club-record move for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder.

But the Premier League champions are also looking to strengthen defensively and Kerkez has been identified as their top target at left-back.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed two impressive seasons at Bournemouth and has also been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.

But Kerkez’s father insists a move to Liverpool in a reported £45m deal is the only plan for his son.

‘For us, Liverpool is the only option,’ Sebastijan Kerkez said on the Super Indirektno podcast.

‘We are not going anywhere else and we will not talk to other clubs.

‘The personal terms are agreed, we just need to work out some details, but it’s basically a done deal.

‘Richard Hughes brought us to Bournemouth, and if he had said we were going to India, we would have gone to India.’

Kerkez’s arrival at Anfield could now pave the way for Andy Robertson’s departure.

The Scotland international is wanted by Atletico Madrid and the Spanish club have already held talks with Liverpool over a deal.
