Milos Kerkez, the Bournemouth defender and Hungary international, has sent a heartfelt message to Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai following the Reds’ emphatic Premier League title triumph.
After sealing the league championship with a resounding 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield, where Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal from Destiny Udogie secured the victory, Liverpool now sits comfortably at the top with a 15-point lead over Arsenal.
With only four games remaining, Liverpool is set for potential guards of honor in its upcoming matches against Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Crystal Palace. The celebrations were rampant at Anfield as players, staff, and fans rejoiced at the final whistle.
Szoboszlai, part of the jubilant squad, received a special congratulatory note from his friend and rumoured Liverpool transfer target Kerkez. Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, Kerkez expressed his admiration, saying, “You deserve it my friend, love,” alongside a photo of the pair representing Hungary.
As the summer transfer window approaches, speculation continues to link Kerkez with a move to join his compatriot at Liverpool. He is thought to be one of a number of players that the Reds are looking at ahead of the summer.
At present, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas as his left-back choices. Whether Liverpool will go ahead with a move for Kerkez this summer or explore other possibilities is yet to be determined.

“The last time we won it was a stranger time, but I suppose we kind of got that feeling against Man United at home,” Robertson said post-match. “It was pretty much done at that point with [being] 16 or 19 points clear. It’s not like quite clinching it and then obviously the world paused. It was quite unique, the way we did it.
“We enjoyed it, of course we did, but you can’t beat what we experienced today and how we went to the ground and the fans during and after the game. Nothing quite compares to that and I’m glad we got to experience it that way as well.”
Liverpool.com says: Kerkez would be an ideal addition for the Reds in the summer. He has all the energy and skills required to be an upgrade at full-back, though he won’t come cheap. Bournemouth is demanding around $60 million (£45 million) for his services.
