Speaking to the club in an exclusive first interview, the Hungary international said: “I’m really happy.
“It’s a real honour for me, a privilege to come to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, [the] biggest club in England. I’m just really, really happy and excited.
“After this, I’ll go home and in my hometown enjoy a few days, and then I can’t really wait to come back and put the training kit on and start to train and prepare for the season.”
Kerkez joins Anfield after two successful seasons in England with Bournemouth, where he made 74 appearances, recorded two goals, and provided eight assists.
Before earning a transfer to AC Milan in 2021, the 21-year-old started his senior career with Hungarian team ETO FC Gyor.
Then, in the midst of the 2021–22 season, he joined AZ Alkmaar, where he would make 57 appearances over the course of his year and a half in the Netherlands.
Kerkez made his international debut in a UEFA Nations League match against Germany in September 2022, and he has since earned 23 caps for Hungary.
