Kerkez has been one of the standout players for Bournemouth last season, scoring two goals and providing five assists in 38 Premier League appearances. He has been on Liverpool's transfer list for this summer, and his switch is expected to be announced in the coming days.

During a recent World Cup qualifier match between the Netherlands and Malta, Kluivert was asked about Kerkez's future. He expressed his hope that Kerkez will have a bright future ahead of him at Liverpool.

"He will probably go there. I hope so for him," Kluivert said. Although Kerkez hasn't officially said goodbye to his teammates, Kluivert hopes that he will make the move to Liverpool happen.

It's reported that Liverpool has already made contact with Bournemouth to finalize the deal. With Kerkez keen to join the team, it's likely that personal terms won't be a major issue. The Reds have been busy signing new players, including Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and are close to signing Florian Wirtz from the same team.

With the addition of Kerkez, Liverpool's squad overhaul is almost complete under the management of Arne Slot. It's hard to ignore the fact that Liverpool will have a strong squad that can retain their title next season.
