Liverpool threaten Chelsea plans for Altinordu keeper Berke Ozer

Liverpool have joined the interest for Turkish whizkid Berke Ozer.

The 18 year-old Altinordu goalkeeper has been tracked by England's biggest clubs this past season and Fanatik says Liverpool have now come forward.

Altinordu manager Mustafa Eroglu recently confirmed that Chelsea have been scouting the 17-year-old goalkeeper nicknamed the Turkish Donnarumma.

Eroglu said: “Chelsea have been sending scouts to Izmir for Berke Ozer and to take a look at our project."

Chelsea goalkeeper coach Christophe Lollichon and loan manager Eddie Newton were also in Turkey in January keeping tabs on Ozer.

“We were impressed with Berke and other players here, we'll continue to scout them," he said.

Altinordu rate Ozer at around £3m.
