Bournemouth news: Opinion – Neudm Onuoha on Milos Kerkez

Milos Kerkez has been a great signing by Bournemouth because I do not think many clubs would have had him on their radar.

He fits in perfectly with how Andoni Iraola wants his team to play. It is very much a front foot, counter-pressing, attack-minded system which involves a lot of high-speed running and the creation of clear opportunities from quick play.

In that position, he is one of the best at doing that this year in the Premier League.

He is really suited their style and you could see him fitting in at other teams as well with his work-rate, desire and defensive solidity. Kerkez seems very coachable and Iraola is making all of his players better.

He is an attacking full-back, which not every team has as a priority these days, but I have been very impressed. The more I see him, the more I see how settled he is within the Bournemouth side and how good he is for their balance.

I think he has been terrific. I am not sure he will be there next year as I do not know his personal motivations, but when people are talking about players in this way, it is usually for good reason.

He is one of the best left-back prospects in the Premier League with a bright future ahead of him.
