The Hungary international left-back is the latest addition to Arne Slot’s squad having passed a medical and penned a long-term contract to join the Reds from AFC Bournemouth.
A long-time admirer of the club, when interest from LFC in his services materialised, there were no doubts whatsoever in Kerkez’s mind.
The defender told Liverpoolfc.com during his first official interview: “As everyone knows, [Richard Hughes] brought me to Bournemouth and was [a] big part why I came to Bournemouth.
“Obviously also [important] is the gaffer – I also had talks with him. I really knew when I talked to him and Richard that this is it for me, so that was my decision.
“We [he and Slot] talked about the tactics and the plan and where he sees where I can improve and where I can help the team. Obviously when [the] coach comes also and talks to you, it’s a big thing, it’s a big sign of respect.
“For me, there were no second doubts then that I want to go somewhere else. It was always Liverpool.”
