New Liverpool signing Milos Kerkez was born and raised in Serbia, but plays international football for Hungary.

Liverpool has signed Hungary left back Milos Kerkez to a long-term contract after paying a reported transfer fee of 40 million pounds ($54 million) to Bournemouth.

Kerkez grew up in Vrbas, Serbia — a hometown he returns to every chance he gets, given his football career took him away at age 11, when he joined Austria’s Rapid Vienna. He now represents Hungary as payback for the coaching and care he received in that country, having played for Hodmezovasarhelyi and Gyor.
