Liverpool are in talks to sign a ‘coming talent’ who was nominated for the 2024 Golden Boy award, according to a recent report.
The Merseysiders will have a fresh look next season, especially in the dugout, as Arne Slot takes over from Jurgen Klopp.
But also on the pitch, with the Dutchman poised to make his mark on the squad during the summer transfer window.
Having said that, the Reds are in discussions to make their first signing of the summer.
Liverpool made contact to sign Yasin Ozcan.
According to Turkish website Aslinda, Liverpool has made contact with Kasimpasa about signing Yasin Ozcan this summer.
The 18-year-old has also piqued the curiosity of Super Lig giants Besiktas, who could enter the competition.
Ozcan, who plays centre-back, has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time, and it is believed that club officials are interested in investing in young players to develop.
The 2006-born is regarded as a ‘coming star’ and has been nominated for the 2024 Golden Boy award, which recognizes the finest young player on the continent.
Yasin Ozcan’s profile
Ozcan is a left-footed defender who can play in a variety of backline positions, demonstrating his tremendous versatility, which is becoming increasingly popular in today’s game.
The under-21 Turkey international can play centre-back, left-back, and even left-midfield, showcasing his ability to get forward as well.
If Liverpool does sign him, he will most likely join Slot’s squad in preseason before a decision is made on whether he should be loaned out.
