Liverpool lining up £15m Ugurcan Cakir approach

Liverpool are eyeing up Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir in a £15m deal, according to a report.

The Reds have been tipped to move for a new back-up for Alisson Becker in the summer due to doubts over Caoimhin Kelleher and Adrian, the latter of whom is soon to be out of contract.

Turkish outlet Sabah claims that Liverpool have been monitoring Turkey international Cakir for some time and sent scouts to watch him up close against Norway at the weekend.

Bar a short stint on loan with Trabzon in 2016, the 24-year-old has spent his entire senior career with Trabzonspor.

The same report indicates that Liverpool are not alone in showing an interest in Cakir, though, as Sevilla and RB Leipzig may also be about to pounce.

Cakir has two years to run on his existing deal at the Senol Gunes Stadium.
