Liverpool are reportedly concerned about Milos Kerkez’s performances this season, as the Hungarian defender has yet to consistently show his quality at Anfield.
According to a report from Football Insider, the Reds have begun to question whether the 22-year-old can establish himself as their long-term solution at left-back. However, Andoni Iraola remains confident that he can help the defender rediscover his best form.
Milos Kerkez faces pressure to improve at Liverpool
Kerkez has continued to feature regularly for Liverpool this season, making ten appearances across all competitions, including eight outings in the Premier League. Nevertheless, his performances have been inconsistent, with his final-third contribution and overall defensive displays drawing criticism.
The Hungarian international arrived at Anfield following an impressive spell at Bournemouth, where he established himself as one of the most promising attacking full-backs in English football.
However, reproducing those performances in a Liverpool shirt has proved challenging, and his recent displays have raised questions about whether the club may eventually need another right-back option.
Liverpool suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Fenerbahce in the Champions League, and Kerkez’s weaknesses came under scrutiny once again.
Despite growing frustration among supporters, the defender is not facing an immediate departure, and the coaching staff is prepared to give him more opportunities to improve.
