As the summer transfer window approaches, Chelsea is focused on enhancing several positions in their quest to contend for the Premier League title next season.
One key area of interest for the Blues is left-back, where they aim to find a backup for Marc Cucurella. While the Spanish player has performed admirably this season, options are limited should he sustain an injury.
It has been reported that Enzo Maresca’s squad is keen on Milos Kerkez, but it appears this 21-year-old from Bournemouth might slip through their fingers.
According to CaughtOffside, the club has expressed interest in acquiring Kerkez to fortify their left-back options.
Nonetheless, the report indicates that Kerkez has his sights set on joining Liverpool, potentially leaving Chelsea disappointed. The Hungarian player has made a notable impact at Bournemouth this season, demonstrating considerable threat on the left side.
Thus, it’s clear why Chelsea would pursue him, yet it seems they may ultimately lose out to Liverpool in this rivalry.
Teammate’s Thoughts on Kerkez
Following an outstanding season, Kerkez’s performance has garnered admiration from his fellow players, who have lauded the defender.
In an interview with the Daily Echo, teammate Marcus Tavernier expressed, “He’s a dynamo! He’s fantastic, and I really appreciate him. He injects a lot of energy into the team when the atmosphere is low. He has integrated wonderfully and I hope he keeps up his excellent form.”
Despite Cucurella’s impressive contributions to Chelsea this season, Enzo Maresca cannot afford another season without a reliable alternative at left-back. Although Chelsea is keen on signing Kerkez, Liverpool appears poised to secure his services.
