Unexpected Twist in Liverpool Drama: Kerkez Clears the Air on Gakpo Relationship ⚽🔥
Liverpool’s new left-back, Milos Kerkez, has pushed back against growing chatter that he and teammate Cody Gakpo are struggling to link up during matches. Rumours had been swirling among fans that Gakpo rarely involves Kerkez in attacking play — especially when the full-back makes overlapping runs down the flank.
Speaking candidly during a recent press briefing, Kerkez insisted there’s no real disconnect between him and the Dutch forward. According to the Hungarian defender, his role is to stretch defences, create options and open space — and it’s ultimately up to the winger to use the ball how he sees fit.
Kerkez made it clear that there’s no personal issue, stressing that the duo work together frequently in training and maintain clear communication. He pointed out that what some fans see on matchdays simply reflects tactical choices on the pitch, not a breakdown in understanding.
Despite the speculation, the full-back appears focused on improving his game and forging strong links with his teammates — rather than getting drawn into off-field controversy.
