Liverpool agree £40m fee for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez
The move has been touted for some time, with the Cherries holding out for £45m, but the PA news agency understands a compromise has been reached which will see the defender make the move to Anfield. Kerkez, 21, is viewed as the long-term successor to Andy Robertson. The Scotland international, who is in the final year of his contract, is a target for Atletico Madrid but Liverpool will not force him out the door. . Hungary international Kerkez will be the third signing of the close season, with Jeremie Frimpong already on board and his Bayer Leverkusen team-mate Florian Wirtz finalising the details of a potential British record £116m deal after flying into Merseyside for a medical on Thursday. With Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Marmadasvili set to join the squad when they reconvene next month, with a deal having been done with Valencia 12 months ago, head coach Arne Slot will have £215m of new talent available for the defence of their Premier League title. And the incomings may not be finished there as, with Leverkusen interested in 22-year-old fourth-choice centre-back Jarell Quansah in a £34m deal entirely separate to the one sending Wirtz in the opposite direction, Liverpool will be on the look-out for another central defender. Crystal Palace's England international Marc Guehi, who has a year left on his contract, is a player the club have been interested in but there will be other contenders for his signature.

The filly was given a poor draw in Stall 1 under Clifford Lee in Friday's opening race. Advertisement READ MORE ON ROYAL ASCOT But Bloom - who is renowned for his knack of beating the bookies - backed her big at odds of 12/1. The two-year-old filly romped home under Lee, netting legendary punter Bloom a windfall after placing a "decent bet".

"I might be a bit biased but I'd like to think she's shown something special there. Moment Royal Ascot racegoers hurl punches in vicious brawl in front of shocked punters "We'll leave it to the boss [on her next race], but we're looking ahead to next season and to a potential 1000 Guineas, so that would be something really to look forward to." Following Friday's race, victorious trainer Burke added on Venetian Sun: "She's a special filly.

"She'll stay further, I think six or seven, she's got a great chance next year of being a Guineas filly but we'll enjoy today and plan for the future."
