Manchester City and Tottenham are in the running to sign goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir, according to Asist Analiz.
The Trabzonspor goalkeeper has been tipped to make a move to Liverpool numerous times in the past, but nothing has materialised so far.
Now some of their Premier League rivals appear to be keen on a move, with Spurs reported to have shown the most interest, and Leicester City and Burnley also mentioned, along with City.
Cakir has made 18 Super Lig appearances for Trabzonspor this season, as well as winning one cap for Turkey.

Despite the constant links suggesting Liverpool are interested in Cakir, I simply don’t see the need to sign him.
Alisson is the Reds’ undisputed first-choice ‘keeper, but in Adrian they have a very able deputy who has won all 10 league games that he has played in this season.
At 33, the Spaniard still has plenty of years ahead of him and he suits Liverpool’s ball-playing style down to the ground.
While Adrian has a pass completion rate of 71.3 per cent in the league this season, according to WhoScored, Cakir’s is just 58.3 per cent, suggesting he would struggle in terms of distribution, compared to the Spaniard.
