Kerkez explained his decision to wear the number 6 jersey in an interview with the club. He said that as a child, he would watch football with his brothers and admire players like Steven Gerrard, John Arne Riise, Andy Robertson, and Ronaldo. His brothers would often choose the numbers he would wear at different teams, and they suggested the number 6 because it was associated with Arne Riise.

As the youngest in the family, they would often encourage him to push himself to achieve his goals. Kerkez is grateful for their support and says that he is thankful for the influence they have had on his life.

Kerkez's decision to wear the number 6 jersey is a nod to his family and the influence they have had on his career. He is set to make his competitive debut for Liverpool in the Community Shield, and fans will be eager to see him in action.
