After an incredibly low-key transfer window prior to Arne Slot’s debut campaign, Liverpool have been remarkably busy this summer.
Their first signing came about by necessity as Jeremie Frimpong was brought in to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the same can’t be said of their lucrative move for the Dutch international’s former Bayer Leverkusen clubmate Florian Wirtz.
But Liverpool are far from done in the market, evidenced by the exciting arrival of Milos Kerkez. The 21-year-old left-back has blossomed at Bournemouth over the past two seasons and has earned his £40 million ($54 million) switch to Anfield, where he will compete with Andy Robertson for a starting berth—providing an Atlético Madrid transfer doesn’t materialise for the latter.
Dethroning the Scotland international won’t be straightforward, but the 31-year-old’s recent decline has been clear, and the decorated left-back faces an almighty battle to retain his place in Slot’s first-choice starting lineup next season.
Here’s how the duo compare over the past two campaigns.
