Liverpool Linked With Galatasaray's Nordin Amrabat

Liverpool have been linked with Galatasaray winger Nordin Amrabat following recent comments by the players agent Barry Thomas.

"We're aware of the interest from the Premier League," Thomas told Sky Sports.

"But he's contracted to Galatasaray and although tighter restrictions on foreign players in the Turkish league mean he could be available, his future very much depends on Galatasaray."

Despite Amrabat being happy at Galatasaray, the Lions are facing pressure as competition for foreign spaces increase.

The Turkish Football Federation only permits six foreign players on the field at any one time and the Istanbul based club currently has eight non-Turkish players on their books.

The Reds have been scouting Galatasaray throughout the season and have kept tabs on Amrabat, Semih Kaya, Burak Yilmaz and Selçuk İnan.

Liverpool have been linked with a number of wingers including Christian Atsu, Luis Alberto and Nacer Chadli as Brendan Rodgers looks to boost Liverpool's attacking options for the beginning of next season.

Amrabat joined Galatasaray from Kayserispor for €8.6 million last season and has four years left on his contract.

The 26-year-old Moroccan international scored once and provided 10 assists in 43 games last season including three assists in 10 Champions League appearances.
