Trabzonspor goalkeeper Cakir happy with Liverpool interest

Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir is happy with interest from Liverpool.

The Daily Express says talk that Liverpool have bid for Trabzonspor goalkeeper Cakir has been gratefully received by the Turkish Super Lig star, who is dreaming of a switch to the Premier League.

The 24-year-old has been a vital figure in the team's success this season, as they sit top of the table on goal difference.

While Galatasaray remain in the title race alongside second place Istanbul Basaksehir, Trabzonspor have blown away fellow big guns Fenerbahce (7th) and Besiktas (5th).

Much of that has been due to the remarkable form of Cakir between the sticks and his performances are attracting interest from across the globe.

Turkish journalist Serdar Ali Celikler said on VOLE's Youtube channel: “I've made some calls with my Trabzonspor sources.

"I can confirm that Liverpool have made a bid for Ugurcan Cakir, which is worth €25m (£22m)."
