Liverpool transfer news as contact made for Milos Kerkez replacement

It’s safe to say Milos Kerkez has failed to produce the goods consistently since moving to Liverpool last summer.

The Hungarian has played more often than not when fully fit, but his performances have been erratic, to say the least.

Defensively, he has been caught napping a handful of times, while in attack, his crossing, in particular, simply hasn’t been good enough.

And now, if reports are to be believed, Liverpool have already made contact with the agents of Malick Diouf, who currently plies his trade with Brentford.

Khadim Diakhate reports that the Reds have identified the former West Ham United left-back as a target for the summer of 2027.

He wrote on X: “Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in El Hadji Malick Diouf after his arrival at Brentford

“Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in El Hadji Malick Diouf ahead of the next summer transfer window. According to our information, the two English clubs have already made contact with the agent of the Senegalese left-back.

“Having arrived at Brentford last summer, the Lion of the Teranga is already catching the eye of the Premier League’s big clubs.”

Diouf has been a big hit in the Premier League since moving to England, but he only secured a move to Brentford earlier this year.

Pricing him out of the club could be an uphill battle, but the young left-back is certainly one of the most exciting players in the world in his position, especially in terms of his crossing.
