  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Liverpool have reportedly been struggling to agree a fee with Bournemouth, who are holding out for £45 million ($61m), but an agreement does not appear too far away now. Kerkez's father has confirmed his son is only interested in moving to Anfield and that the deal is almost closed.

• WHAT KERKEZ'S DAD SAID

  Sebastijan Kerkez told : “It's only Liverpool for us and we're not going anywhere else and we won't talk to other clubs. Everything is done between us [personal terms] we just need to sort out some details but it's basically a done deal."

  WHAT NEXT FOR KERKEZ?

  Kerkez looks set to join Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong in making the switch to Anfield this summer. Liverpool fans will be able to catch a glimpse of their new signings in action when the Reds head to Asia in July for a pre-season tour.
