West Ham United boss David Moyes is reportedly keen to sign AZ Alkmaar left-back Milos Kerkez this summer.
According to 90 Min, AZ Alkmaar defender Milos Kerkez is firmly on the radar of West Ham manager David Moyes in the summer transfer window.

Signing a top-class left-back will be key for the Hammers this summer, if we are to make genuine progress.
Emerson Palmieri really impressed during the latter stages of the season, but he needs more competition with Aaron Cresswell set to turn 34 later this year.
And it seems as though Moyes has someone specific in my for the job…
David Moyes is eyeing a big upgrade with move to bring ‘brilliant’ left-back to West Ham
There is plenty of transfer news involving the Hammers doing the rounds at the moment – some realistic and some very unrealistic.
However, 90 Min’s claim that West Ham want to sign Kerkez from AZ Alkmaar makes complete sense.
Foot The Ball describe him as a ‘brilliant’ left-back, and they’re not wrong – he really is top-class, and he has youth on his side as well.
The West Ham fans got a glimpse of how good the 19-year-old is during our Europa Conference League semi-final clash with AZ Alkmaar.
He missed the first-leg through suspension but was absolutely magnificent in the return leg out in Holland.
Milos Kerkez is absolutely rapid and has energy and dynamism in abundance.
The Hungarian teenager is a very good defender, if not a little rough around the edges, and he is spectacular in the final third with his overlapping runs and wicked delivery into the box.
Crucially, the AZ Alkmaar ace has the physical attributes needed to thrive in the Premier League. And if David Moyes brings him to West Ham this summer, he will be a great signing for the club.
According to The Mirror print edition (May 21st, page 78), he is valued at around £8 million. That represents superb business for the Hammers as far as I’m concerned.
