Transfer Talk: Ozan Kabak

Transfer Talk: Ozan Kabak

Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Schalke, and Arsenal are all interested in 19-year-old Stuttgart and Turkey defender Ozan Kabak.

In the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, he had more tackles and interceptions per game (7.5) than any player with 3 or more appearances.

Kabak is a solid defender who can read a game, a fact shown by the fact he picked up only 4 yellow cards in 34 games. reading the game means you are in position early and not having to make so many last-ditch tackles or commit so many fouls to stop players. For a defender, it's a vital skill to have.

Ozan Kabak is the preferred choice at Schalke with Premier League clubs being interested as well. The 19-year-old has a €15m (£13.28n) release clause. Christopher Schindler (29, CB, Huddersfield Town) is also a candidate. [Torsten Rumpf/SportBild]

New Schalke Technical Director Michael Reschke is interested in taking one of Stuttgart's Ozan Kabak (19) or Marc-Oliver Kempf (24) with him to Schalke. Both center backs are said to be available following Stuttgart's relegation, Kabak for €15m (£13.28m) and Kempf for €6m (£5.31m). [Bild]

We will have to wait and see what is happening with Toby Alderweireld this summer.
