Liverpool complete Sahin loan deal

The highly-rated Turkish playmaker arrives from Real Madrid.

LIVERPOOL HAVE SIGNED Nuri Sahin on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old Turkish international, who was also a target of Arsenal’s, arrives from Real Madrid after struggling to secure a regular place in Jose Mourinho’s side since signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2011.

A statement on club’s website read: “Liverpool Football Club have reached an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Nuri Sahin on a season-long loan deal, subject to the player passing a medical.

“Sahin moved to Madrid last summer fresh from helping Borussia Dortmund secure the German championship and being named as the Bundesliga’s Player of the Season.

The playmaker collected another league title winners’ medal as the Spanish giants clinched La Liga in May.

“Sahin has 31 caps for Turkey and became their youngest ever scorer when he netted on his debut against Germany in 2005, aged 17.

“The 23-year-old will now undergo a medical on Merseyside.”
