Reliable journalist confirms Liverpool are in talks with Ozan Kabak

Liverpool are in talks with Ozan Kabak‘s agent ahead of a potential deadline day move, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.

He states that the 20-year-old is now the only remaining centre-back option for the Reds to sign, as well as incoming arrival Ben Davies.

Moves for Duje Caleta-Car and Sven Botman are off the table, with Kabak the man Liverpool are focusing on and Schalke having a medical in Germany, according to Goal‘s Ronan Murphy on Twitter.

The centre-back’s potential move looks set to be a loan one, with a view to buy permanently further down the line.

This is the most likely a deal has looked so far on Monday, aside from Davies undergoing a medical.

Kabak has been linked with Liverpool before and he could be an exciting addition to the Reds’ back-line.

Despite only being 20, he already has seven caps to his name for Turkey and has impressed for Schalke, winning 4.1 aerial duels per game in the Bundesliga this season.

Only Rhys Williams (5.5) and Nathaniel Phillips (5.4) have more for Liverpool, albeit having played far fewer games.
