The Premier League giants have been closely scouting Cakir and the transfer fee will be warmly welcomed by Trabzonspor who are in financial trouble.

In a separate report the Milliyet newspaper claim that Chelsea and Liverpool are keen on Cakir and have been scouting him closely.
Trabzonspor are keen on selling Cakir due to their current financial position.
The 24-year-old has made 40 appearances this season and even has an assist to his name.
