'The best': Milos Kerkez makes bold Andy Robertson claim as Liverpool confirm new signing | OneFootball

Scotland international is approaching the final year of his contract at Anfield

New Liverpool signing Milos Kerkez says Andy Robertson is “the best left-back” in Premier League history.

The Reds have moved to bolster their options in the left-back department after announcing Kerkez’s £40m transfer from fellow Premier League outfit Bournemouth on Thursday morning.

Kerkez played his part in a record-breaking 2024/2025 season for the Cherries, scoring twice and chipping in with six assists in 38 appearances.

That said, his arrival has raised speculation over the future of Robertson. The Scotland international is approaching the final year of his contract at Anfield and there has been talk of an exit this summer.

Recent reports have suggested that Atletico Madrid are keen to bring the left-back to Spain if he does decide to leave Liverpool.

However, Kerkez is keen for Robertson to stay so he can learn from the 31-year-old.

Speaking to the club’s official website, the Hungarian said: “Yeah, really excited, like I say. I had a conversation with my brothers and we always say that, also for me personally, Robbo is the best left-back that played in the Premier League, for me, and my brothers agree on that also.

“So, to come and to be next to such a player who has so much experience, played so many years on a high level, won the Champions League and everything, it's important for me.

“Like I said, all the guys are good and they're all going to help me to reach a higher potential. I'm looking forward to it.”
