Kerkez said: "Of course, something always leaks into the news. I think it's normal that if you play well and the team does well, then you get into the news and end up on the front page, and everyone talks about you. I see this as fuel that drives me forward. All this doesn't break me, but it doesn't boost my ego either. It teaches me humility and motivates me."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arne Slot is said to be keen to upgrade his left-back options this summer, with Andrew Robertson having suffered dips of form during the 2024-25 campaign. Kerkez was voted into the Premier League Fan Team of the Season after making a big impact for Bournemouth once again.
