According to The Daily Mail, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp sees Ozan Kabak as a player he can develop.

Kabak joined Liverpool on loan from Schalke in the January transfer window and is scheduled to return to his parent club at the end of the season.

The Daily Mail has claimed that Liverpool manager Klopp sees the 21-year-old as a player ‘he can develop’.

Kabak did not have a great start to life at Liverpool.

The Turkey international struggled on his debut against Leicester City, but, according to The Daily Mail, since then, Liverpool have kept six clean sheets in the 13 games he has played.

Liverpool manager Klopp has spoken highly of Kabak on many occasions in the last few weeks.

The youngster is injured at the moment and is unlikely to play again this season.

That should not affect Liverpool’s decision on the youngster.

Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are injured at the moment, and they will be ahead of Kabak in the pecking order when they are back next season.

The youngster will know that he has to work extremely hard to get into the team next season, especially with Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips having started to form a strong partnership in central defence.

A report has claimed that Liverpool will not sign Kabak on a permanent deal this summer, with Newcastle United linked with a summer move for the 21-year-old.
