Trabzonspor vice-president Sertac Guven says talks are underway with Daniel Sturridge.

The former Liverpool striker is a free agent after being allowed to come off contract last month.

Sturridge's mother and uncle were in Trabzon this week to meet with club officials and look over facilities.

"The transfer has not been completed yet, the talks are progressing positively," revealed Guven.

Guven is personally driving negotiations.
