Liverpool fans are a mixed bag when reacting to the news that Ozan Kabak could be on his way.

The Reds have been hit hard in defence with further injuries to Fabinho and Joel Matip in recent days.

With Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez already out for the rest of the season, it has left Jurgen Klopp with a selection headache.

Nat Phillips and Jordan Henderson played at the back against West Ham on Sunday.

But the German manager wants an actual centre-back through the door until the end of the season – but time is running out.

A number of players have been linked with an Anfield switch.

They include a shock deal for Arsenal star Shkodran Mustafi while relative unknown Ben Davies from Preston is close to signing for £2m.

But he is not the only one and a deal is being worked on to sign Kabak from Schalke on loan with a view to buying him permanently.

Liverpool had been strongly linked with the Turkey international prior to the January transfer window opening.

However, reports cooled off after they were priced out of a move – but desperate times have seen them revisit a deal.

And fans are having mixed feelings over the defender arriving, with some believing he could be class while others are not as interested.

One fan said: "Kabak now on again according to Sky Sources in Germany. Caleta-Car also not off it seems. This will go to the wire. Exciting stuff!"

Another wrote: "Caleta-Car … Kabak … Botman … Who's it gonna be??"

While this supporter moaned: "Whyyyyy have we left it so late Kabak has been available all month."

And a fourth was not as impressed, saying: "Big downgrade on Caleta Car."

But this fan was over the moon, tweeting: "Love it this guy is class defence he has it all, Come on Reds @LFC do your magic get him to Anfield, YNWA."

"No thanks prefer the other 2," another said, referring to the two defenders left at Anfield.
