Chelsea are eyeing Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir.

Fotospor says former Chelsea midfielder Eddie Newton, who is now assistant manager at Trabzonspor after leaving his role with the Blues last month, has been "constantly" passing information back to the club and has sent rave reviews about Cakir.

The 23-year-old keeper has caught the eye this season and played a key role in Trabzonspor's title charge with the Turkish side currently second and just one point behind leaders Istanbul Basaksehir.

The report also claims that Chelsea identified Cakir as a potential target after his brilliant performance in Trabzonspor's first leg semi-final victory over Fenerbache in the Turkish Cup earlier this week.

The Turkey international has been attracting a lot of interest from Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp being linked with a move for the keeper since September.
