"Of course, something always leaks into the news," Kerkez told . "I don't know how. At the same time, I think it's normal that if you play well and the team does well, then you get into the news and end up on the front page, and everyone talks about you.

"I see this as fuel that drives me forward. All this doesn't break me, but it doesn't 'boost' my ego either, but it teaches me humility and motivates me."

Kerkez also spoke about his friendship with Liverpool midfielder Szoboszlai, who he said he spoke to almost every day after meeting in the Hungary national set up.

"We met when I first joined the national team and we spoke German because I didn't dare to speak Hungarian yet. He switched to German and accepted me," he said.

"From then on, we spoke every day and got to know each other better. We are still very close, we write to each other or call each other every other day, we talk about many things.

"It feels good to have a friend who always answers the phone. When you call him, he answers and doesn't put his mobile on silent."

Liverpool have already strengthened in defence this summer on the opposite flank after bringing in right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, while the club are also aiming to sign Florian Wirtz from the same club.
