He made only eight appearances for the U-21 side before he was called up to the Hungarian National team in 2022 and made his debut in a 1-0 win against Germany on the 23rd of September 2022.
Playing Style
Milos Kerkez is a typical modern day fullback who loves to maraud down the left wing while also paying apt attention to his primary defensive role.
The youngster possess an explosive pace , strength and trickery which means he is equally effective at both ends of the pitch. His tenacity and work rate on and off the ball has also seen him draw comparisons with French left back Theo Hernandez.
Our Verdict
Milos Kerkez possesses a huge wealth of talent and is set to be part of a new generation of talented fullbacks set to dominate the football world over the next decade.
However, while his potential cannot be called into question, the same cannot be said for his attitude with the player often referred to as a “difficult” character on occasions.
With that being said, Kerkez will need to work on himself both on and off the pitch especially if he is to reach the very top of the footballing world.
