When you mention John Arne Riise’s name on a walk in the red part of Liverpool, you get broad smiles and a pat on the back. Riise wrote himself into club history with his uncompromising play, extreme long shots – and the Champions League title 2004/05. Now the player who wants to give the supporters flashbacks to Riise is putting on the red shirt.
Liverpool signed Jeremie Frimpong on the same day that Trent Alexander-Arnold pulled on the Real Madrid suit. Since then, there have been few confirmed signings. Florian Wirtz is well on his way, but what about Milos Kerkez? Now it is reported that the parties have finally agreed.
The Bournemouth player who impressed in the Premier League this season has been on the verge of heading to Liverpool for months, but already at the end of the first part of the transfer window, there has been no confirmation that the left-back with the speed, power, rawness, passing foot and shooting legs of John Arne Riise is ready for Anfield. Now it’s coming.
According to The Athletic, a medical test is expected at Liverpool on Tuesday, Liverpool and Bournemouth agreed on a transfer price of £40 million on Friday after Bournemouth had put in place the replacement.
A signing Liverpool fans will love.
