Liverpool keen on signing Orkun Kokcu

Football Transfers claims that Kokcu remains a player high on the list that Jurgen Klopp and FSG have drawn up.

However, it is caveated with the fact that Liverpool will need to rely on new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke to get the deal done for Klopp.

Kokcu has been one of the stars of the Eredivisie this past season. Indeed, with Arne Slot heavily linked with a move to Tottenham, he was expected to follow his boss to North London.

But with Slot now staying in Holland, any hopes Tottenham had of landing Kokcu seem to be off the table.

Liverpool, then, are hoping to seize the moment and make a proposal for Kokcu. The midfielder is wanted by Klopp even as deals for Thuram and Mac Allister appear to be edging closer.

A fine player for anyone in England

Orkan Kokcu seems to be improving by the year and he was instrumental in helping Feyenoord to the Dutch title this past season.

He does very much seem ready to make the next step in his career. Liverpool would, of course, be a major step up in quality and expectations.

But given he skippered Feyenoord last season there can’t be too many questions around if he’d handle that pressure.
