Liverpool and Arsenal Interested in Batrakov

Galatasaray's number 10, Aleksey Batrakov, has come onto the radar of Europe's top clubs with his performances. The 21-year-old midfielder has played 9 matches in the yellow and red shirt, drawing attention especially for his play in the Champions League.

According to reports in the English press, Liverpool and Arsenal are following Batrakov closely. It was reported that both clubs sent scouts to the Lille match, and that the observers passed on positive impressions of the player.

Interest in Batrakov does not come only from Premier League clubs. Spanish giants Barcelona are also said to be watching the player. According to the Russian press, however, this interest has not yet reached a serious level.

The player had already attracted the attention of clubs such as PSG, but some European sides dropped their interest in a transfer because he plays for the Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow. Galatasaray, for its part, signed the talented footballer for 25 million euros.
