Miloš Kerkez Transfer from AFC Bournemouth to Arsenal
Arsenal could get into a transfer battle with Liverpool and Manchester United to sign Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez.
Milos Kerkez, a young Hungarian left-back currently playing for Bournemouth, has caught the attention of Arsenal following his impressive performances in the Premier League. Having been signed by Bournemouth in 2023 for over 17 million euros, the 20-year-old defender has emerged as one of the standout players of the season. His ability to effectively combine defensive duties with attacking skills has made him particularly appealing, attracting interest from Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, according to BBC Sport. It was reported that Arteta is keen on young players with significant potential, and Kerkez is seen as fitting well into that philosophy. Arsenal might consider making a move in the upcoming transfer window, especially if one of their current left-backs leaves the club.
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth as a possible upgrade for Kieran Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko at left-back. One or both of the current left-backs are likely to leave in 2025.
Arsenal have reportedly set their sights on a double Bournemouth raid in 2025, with left-back Milos Kerkez being one of the targets. Bournemouth’s combined valuation of the two stars is reportedly £67m, though Arsenal would attempt to strike cheaper deals if acting on their interest.
Arsenal continue to show interest in Hungary international Milos Kerkez. Although they had shown interest in securing a transfer during the summer, no concrete negotiations occurred and the deal was not finalized. The club remains eager to sign Kerkez due to the uncertain futures of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney. Despite Riccardo Calafiori's summer arrival, Arsenal is determined to add another left-back, with Kerkez being their primary target.
