Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez is reportedly one of several left-backs being considered by Liverpool as a replacement for Andy Robertson.

Scotland international Robertson has been the first-choice left-back at Anfield since signing from Hull City in 2017.

But the 30-year-old, into the last 18 months of his current terms, has endured arguably the most difficult season of his Liverpool career and has faced competition from Kostas Tsimikas for a starting role.

As a result of such struggles, Robertson could be demoted to second choice next season. The Times reports that the Reds' sporting director, Richard Hughes, is assessing left-backs who could be available for transfer this summer.

The report claims that Bournemouth's Kerkez, who has excelled since joining the Cherries from AZ Alkmaar in June 2023, is one of the names currently being considered ahead of a potential move to Anfield in 2025.

Earlier this week, i news reported that Liverpool are hoping to beat Manchester United and Manchester City to the signing of the Hungary international and have already made contact with his representatives.

Kerkez has started all 21 of Bournemouth's Premier League games this season. However, he is set to face renewed competition in the second half of the season after the Cherries signed left-back Julio Soler earlier this month.

Ex-Reds defender and 2005 Champions League winner Jamie Carragher recently called on Liverpool to sign a left-back if they want to win the Premier League this season.

After the 2-2 draw with Manchester United earlier this month, Carragher said: "The big worry for me now is Liverpool are starting to concede goals and chances. I still think Liverpool are the best team in this league, they've got more goals in this team and attacking talent than Arsenal.

"If you're Arsenal watching that, the thing would give you a lift is that Liverpool didn't win and you're seeing Liverpool concede goals and chances. People say Arsenal need a to sign a goal scorer, Liverpool need to sign a full-back in January.

"A left-back, Trent was poor today, Conor Bradley came in, I think Andy Robertson - absolute legend, love him to bits - is just hanging on and Tsimikas isn't quite at the standard to come replace him. If Liverpool could get a left-back in January, that would put them in a strong position to go and win the league."
