Fenerbahce in advanced talks to sign Liverpool striker Divock Origi

Fenerbahce are interested in Liverpool striker Divock Origi.

Turkey's summer window doesn't close until September 8, giving Super Lig sides an extra week to carry out their business.

That could be good news for Liverpool, Origi and Fenerbahce, who are reportedly interested in acquiring the Belgian forward before Deadline Day in Turkey.

Fotosport says Fener have been in the market for a new striker 'all summer' and have now turned their attention to Origi.

Fenerbahce board member Selahattin Baki couldn't travel to England to hold personal talks to sign the forward, but will meet with Michael Edwards, Liverpool's sporting director.

It adds that talks are 'progressing very quickly and positively' and Ali Koc's 'plane' is 'waiting' in 'Liverpool', awaiting the outcome of the 'final round of negotiations.'
