For those who have followed Milos Kerkez’s journey from the streets of Serbia to Liverpool, the ‘not smart’ dive that saw him hauled off in frustration by Arne Slot on Sunday came as no surprise – and not just because he had childhood ambitions of being a professional swimmer!
Former colleagues have told Daily Mail Sport that Kerkez, 21, was let go by Rapid Vienna as a teenager for ‘behavioural issues’ and the fact he was ‘hard to manage’, while former Hungary international Adam Bogdan described him as ‘like a young horse, kicking everything’.
