Turkish midfielder Yunus Malli is a watched man by the Premier League. Tottenham had already been linked with a January move for the Mainz attacker, and were told that the player would move for the right price.
Now, Jurgen Klopp is preparing to move in to bring Malli to Anfield. Mainz played Bayern Munich recently, and well-respected sources Scouts In Attendance have confirmed, viatribalfootball,that Liverpool scouts were present to watch Malli play.
Seems #lfc are keeping eye on Yunus Malli, watched him v #fcbayern on 2/12 (obvs he played well and scored in 4-0 win v LFC in pre-season)
Malli's uncle, Ilhan, has confirmed that Yunus's move is entirely possible.
"Should we get an interesting offer, Mainz will put no obstacles in the way.We are open in terms of interested clubs. So far there is no offers, at least none concrete."
The attacker is contracted at Mainz until 2018, but does have only a €9m buyout clause. Spurs have made enquiries in other areas, such as Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha, so it isunknownas towhetherthey would attempt to compete with Jurgen Klopp for the Turkish player.
Liverpool's attack is already looking very polished as it is, but Sadio Mané leaves for the African Cup of Nations in January. A replacement player could be warranted, especially if Phillippe Coutinho's recovery from injury does not go completely as planned.
