Liverpool keen on signing Orkun Kokcu

🐈 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.

𝓡Liverpool, 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.
