Liverpool have found themselves in increasingly crowded company over Aleksey Batrakov, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain both circling the Galatasaray midfielder and showing no sign of backing off.

For a 21-year-old who only arrived in Turkey from Lokomotiv for around €25m in the summer, that level of interest says everything about how quickly his stock has risen.

According to TeamTalk, Liverpool and Arsenal have both had scouts watching closely, including during Batrakov’s goal in Galatasaray’s 4-2 Champions League win over Lille. Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are also said to be keeping tabs on the Russia international, which gives some sense of how widely his name is now circulating among Europe’s bigger clubs.
