Liverpool agree €20 million deal for Abdulkadir Omur

According to Ajansspor, Liverpool have agreed to sign 19-year-old Trabzonspor midfield sensation Abdulkadir Omur.

Jurgen Klopp has left his squad untouched in January so as to not meddle with their rhythm as they continue to top the Premier League table. However, he has also kept an eye on the future and has reportedly agreed a deal with Turkish club Trabzonspor for midfielder Abdulkadir Omur.

Bournemouth and Manchester City were also keeping tabs on the youngster and it looks like the Turkish u-21 international is all set to arrive at Anfield in the summer.

Turkish Football had, earlier this month, quoted Omur talking about how he would like for his club to discuss the interest from Merseyside. As per the report, Omur said,

“Liverpool are a great club, one of the greatest in the world. These offers are something Trabzonspor need to discuss,”

“If the club give the go ahead talks can be held. The clubs interests take precedence. I’ll do whatever is in the clubs best interests.”

The youngster was recently called up to the Turkish senior squad after impressing for Trabzonspor. The Reds see Omur as a long-term replacement for Adam Lallana.
