# Wolves keen on summer Milos Kerkez transfer

**[Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) are keen on a summer move for AZ Alkmaar left-back Milos Kerkez, according to a report.**

### The Lowdown: Bueno eyed

Wolves may need to sign a new left-back in the summer transfer window, given that Atletico Madrid are [said](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/atletico-madrid/transfer-talk/news/atletico-considering-bid-for-wolves-defender-bueno_505978.html) to be eyeing a move for Hugo Bueno, who has been [praised](https://www.molineux.news/transfer-news/jamie-carragher-tells-hugo-bueno-he-was-really-impressed-with-him-against-fulham/) by Jamie Carragher in the wake of his recent performances.

The Old Gold have previously been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours/alex-grimald-transfer-news-rumours-updates/) with Benfica’s Alejandro Grimaldo, however with Champions League-chasing Newcastle also said to be interested, they may be forced to turn their attentions elsewhere.

### The Latest: Keen on Kerkez

According to a report from Record (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/wolverhampton-brentford-keen-hungary-international-club-want-e20m-talented-fullback/)), [Julen Lopetegui](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/julen-lopetegui/) is keen on signing Kerkez this summer, with Brentford, Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund also said to be eyeing deals.

The left-back has his sights set on Benfica, however the Portuguese club are not willing to stump up the €20m (£17.7m) that Alkmaar are set to demand, meaning he may have to move elsewhere.

### The Verdict: Get it done?

[Hailed](https://twitter.com/BenBocsak/status/1585745323095367680?s=20) as ‘incredible’ by members of the media, the Hungarian is fantastic going forward, having picked up [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/milos-kerkez/leistungsdaten/spieler/730861) goals and six assists in all competitions for Alkmaar this season, also ranking in the [93rd](https://fbref.com/en/players/0ad53bdc/Milos-Kerkez) percentile for non-penalty goals per 90 in the past year.

Given that the starlet is just 19-years-old, he is only going to improve, and he has already emerged as a vital player for Alkmaar, making [36](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/milos-kerkez/leistungsdaten/spieler/730861) appearances for the [title-chasing](https://www.skysports.com/eredivisie-table) Dutch side in all competitions this season.

It is difficult to assess how good Kerkez is defensively, as he plays for a side that are not used to being on the back foot, but his attacking ability indicates he would be a great signing for Wolves this summer, perhaps capable of playing further forward on a long-term basis.
