Wolves transfer news: Milos Kerkez’s father says he’d prefer to take defender to England

The father of Wolves transfer target Milos Kerkez has stated he would prefer to take his son to a club in England.

The full-back has been impressing this season over in the Netherlands with AZ Alkmaar.

Kerkez has made a very impressive 47 appearances so far this season. the 19-year-old has been firmly in favour, and he has delivered attacking returns in the form of five goals and eight assists.

Those are some impressive numbers for a full-back.

It is little wonder interest is high in Kerkez.

Supposedly, Wolves are one of several clubs to have been monitoring him.

Record claimed recently that Wolves were keen on the Hungary international, as were Leeds United and Brentford.

Kerkez’s father has been speaking about the future may hold for the teenager. And it would appear a move away from Alkmaar is not out of the question this summer.

Sebastijan Kerkez, who is also the youngster’s agent, said (M4 Sport): “Everyone cares about money, but we don’t. We live well here and have everything; money is not a reason to change clubs at the moment.

“The big money will come one day anyway, now it doesn’t change anything in our decision about who gives the most.

“We want something a little different, I would prefer England, and Milos would prefer Spain. I think he is a tough player and England would be good for him from that point of view. But he prefers to support the Spanish, but we will see.”

He then claimed that only ‘rudimentary conversations’ have taken place with other clubs at this stage.

Milos Kerkez should be monitored by Wolves given Rayan Ait-Nouri situation

So it looks like there could be a chance of Kerkez heading to England in the summer, although Spain does seem to be his preference.

Perhaps Wolves will intensify their pursuit in the coming months given the situation with Rayan Ait-Nouri.

The Algeria international has not made a matchday squad now for Wolves since the game with Newcastle United on March 12.

Julen Lopetegui has been overlooking him, with Toti Gomes playing mostly at left-back in recent weeks. Hugo Bueno came back into the starting XI against Crystal Palace in Tuesday.

If he agitates for a move, or Wolves want to sell, then perhaps Kerkez would be a suitable replacement.
