Liverpool appear to have a genuine interest in signing Trabzonspor attacking midfielder Yusuf Yazici this summer.

According to the football transfer rumours in British Media (Teamtalk), Liverpool join Manchester United in race for Trabzonspor attacking midfielder Yusuf Yazici.

The Turkey international has joined Trabzonspor in 2008. The 20-year-old has a valid contract with Trabzonspor until June 2022.

Yusuf Yazici made 31 appearances across all competitions for Trabzonspor, scoring 8 goals and supplying 13 assists in return.

The 20-year-old is considered to be one of the best young attacking midfielders in Turkey.

The Turkey international has been in impressive form for Trabzonspor last season.

Yazici has represented Turkey at Under-19 and Under-21 level, winning 6 caps and scoring one goal, before making his senior international debut in January 2017. As a member of Turkey national football team, Yazici has won one cap.

The 20-year-old is high in demand this summer, with him having enjoyed a sublime season for Trabzonspor last term.

Adding a attacking midfielder remains Liverpool’s top priority this summer and Jurgen Klopp will have drafted a shortlist of a number of possible targets he could approach in the coming weeks.

Jurgen Klopp has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe.

The report claims that Liverpool manager has extensively scouted Yusuf Yazici and is considering a move for the attacking midfielder.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants to continue to strengthening his squad so they’re able to compete both domestically and in the Champions League next season.

Jurgen Klopp will reportedly be handed a huge transfer kitty this summer and the Trabzonspor attacking midfielder is thought to be among the manager’s priorities.

How strong that interest is and whether Liverpool will make a summer move remains to be seen but it is certainly one worth keeping an eye on.
