Liverpool are very close to sealing a deadline day loan deal for Schalke defender Ozan Kabak which will include an option to buy in the summer.
Kabak saw a move to Newcastle collapse this weekend but Liverpool are now ready to tie up a loan for £2million with a view to making the deal permanent for around £16m in the summer.
He is set to undergo a medical in Germany and if all goes well, will fly to Merseyside on Tuesday.
Kabak has a release clause of £35m but due to the financial pressures and threat of relegation for Schalke, Liverpool are optimistic about negotiating for considerably less.
