Liverpool are stepping up interest in Trabzonspor midfielder Abdulkadir Omur.

The Mirror says during the transfer window that Liverpool were considering a £27million move for the Trabzonspor starlet.

And Liverpool have now sent scouts to Turkey to take a closer look at the man who could one day replace Adam Lallana.

Back in January he told CNN Turk: "Liverpool is a very important club, but the most important thing is Trabzonspor's interests.

"If my club tell me that I can go, I'll go and if they tell me to stay, I'll stay. We will see.

"My priority is Trabzonspor but I have a dream of playing in Europe. I hope I play there one day. My dream is to succeed here and then go to Europe."
