Caught Offside reports that Liverpool and Manchester United are keen on Hungarian Kerkez, who has impressed since his move to Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar 18 months ago.

Whilst Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also named as 'keeping an eye' on the situation with Kerkez, the strongest interest appears to be coming from the corridors of Anfield and Old Trafford.

The outlet claims, however, that the potential fee for the 21-year-old of £50million could prove to be a stumbling block for Liverpool, who may look to include players in any deal to reduce the asking price.
