Liverpool fans are riding a wave of excitement — not just because of their dominant title win, but also thanks to a major hint from one of their top transfer targets.
After smashing Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield to claim their second Premier League title and a historic 20th league crown, Liverpool celebrated in front of a packed home crowd. New boss Arne Slot etched his name into history by becoming just the fifth manager to win the Premier League in his debut season, joining the likes of Mourinho, Ancelotti, Pellegrini, and Conte.
This triumph, sealed with four games to spare, felt even sweeter than the COVID-hit 2020 victory, as fans now look forward to officially lifting the trophy on May 25 against Crystal Palace.
But there was more good news off the pitch. Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, a reported Liverpool target, caught fans’ attention with his reaction to the Reds’ title win. The 21-year-old left-back, who has impressed in the Premier League this season, congratulated Liverpool and his fellow Hungarian, Dominik Szoboszlai, who made history as the first Hungarian to win a Premier League title.
Szoboszlai replied with a few emojis, but it was Kerkez’s post that set tongues wagging among the Anfield faithful. Fans flooded social media with messages, urging Kerkez to join Liverpool this summer: “Next season you win it together,” wrote one fan, while another added, “Come get your medal next year, lad.”
Kerkez, who cost Bournemouth £15.5 million last year, is now reportedly valued at around £45 million — but if his social media hints are anything to go by, Liverpool could be seriously considering a move to make him part of their next chapter.
