Players who might improve us

Watching AZ Alkmaar against Lazio again, and it’s difficult not to be impressed by their left back, Milos Kerkez. He’s got the kind of energy and drive that Liverpool’s Robertson has, and he looks as if he relishes the physical challenge, too.

Where would we play him though?

Left back. He’s got more about him in an attacking sense than Ake and more drive and physicality than Gomez. Not to disparage Ake, who has certainly improved in that role, but Kerkez has a quite phenomenal engine and the look of someone who could play at the highest level.

Left back.

Silly idea.

I’m waiting for the left back Renaissance...

Decided to retire from playing football and join Maureen at Roma.

Watched him a few times. Either him or Ian Maatsen would be my preferred choice. Wonderful players

Maatsen is part of Chelsea’s left back stockpile, with another year left on his contract. Kerkez reminds me a bit of Walker in terms of his ability to power up and down the flank, though with perhaps more ability in the final third. My only concern would be his lack of height. Shorter than Walker yet taller than Zinchenko.

taller than Zinchenko.

So are daffodils.
