Report: Liverpool monitoring Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan

Liverpool have expressed an interest in Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan, according to reports.

The Turkey international has made just 16 La Liga appearances for the Spanish giants since moving to Camp Nou from Atletico Madrid in 2015.

He had to wait for a club transfer ban to expire before putting on a Blaugrana shirt, but since becoming available he has been unable to nail down a starting berth under Luis Enrique.

According to Don Balon, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has earmarked Turan as a prime target, as speculation continues to linger around Philippe Coutinho's Anfield future.

Liverpool currently sit top of the Premier League table.
