This move comes as Liverpool continue to strengthen their defensive options. The Reds are also on the verge of completing the signing of Jeremy Frimpong, who is expected to undergo medical examinations today before signing a five-year contract with the club. By securing Frimpong and pursuing Kerkez, Liverpool are looking to reinforce both full-back positions, a priority following the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold and the inconsistent form of Andrew Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas this season.
Liverpool’s transfer activity is unlikely to end with these two signings. Reports indicate that at least two more arrivals are expected, including a new central forward, as the club aims to further bolster its squad.
Later today, Liverpool will face Brighton at the Amex Stadium in a Premier League match from the 37th round, with John Brooks appointed as the referee.

Brighton, on the other hand, are ninth with 55 points and are playing only for pride.
