# Liverpool: Turkish report provides Enes Unal update

**According to a report from Turkish outlet [Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/enes-unal-icin-flas-transfer-iddiasi-liverpool-istiyor-2279336) (via the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-divock-origi-23786138)), [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are interested in signing Getafe striker Enes Unal.**

### The lowdown: Career so far

The 24-year-old has taken a rather nomadic path to stardom having moved to Manchester City from Bursaspor for £2million in 2015 ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/9905303/manchester-city-sign-turkey-international-enes-unal)).

Since then, Unal has spent time on loan at Genk, NAC Breda and FC Twente before making a permanent switch to Spain. Having initially signed for the Reds’ UEFA Champions League semi-final opponents, Villarreal, the Turkey international was loaned to Real Valladolid ahead of a move to current club Getafe.

Now, after finally finding some career stability, another move could be forthcoming for the well-travelled star…

### The latest: Liverpool interested

As per [Fanatik](https://www.fanatik.com.tr/enes-unal-icin-flas-transfer-iddiasi-liverpool-istiyor-2279336) (via the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-divock-origi-23786138)), the Anfield club are believed to be keen on signing Unal as Jurgen Klopp prepares for life after popular cult hero, Divock Origi.

It’s claimed that the [26-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/enes-unal/nationalmannschaft/spieler/251106/verein_id/3381) Turkey ace is the ‘most suitable name’ on the list of targets as incoming sporting director Julian Ward attempts to replace the enigmatic Belgian in the Liverpool squad.

Described as [‘very good’](https://turkishpress.com/valladolid-chair-ronaldo-praises-striker-enes-unal/) by legendary Brazil frontman and Real Valladolid president Ronaldo, Unal is currently under contract until 2025 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/enes-unal/profil/spieler/251106)).

### The verdict: Worth the risk

This season has been a coming of age campaign for the Turkish ace and Liverpool have certainly developed a knock of plucking out the hottest talents just as they enter their prime, most notably the signing of previous [Premier League flop](https://talksport.com/football/674000/mohamed-salah-chelsea-liverpool-watford-debut-vicarage-road/) Mohamed Salah.

So far this term, Unal has scored [15 times and provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/enes-unal/leistungsdaten/spieler/251106) in 32 La Liga outings whilst also earning an impressive [7.04 average Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/enes-unal/336655) in the process – the highest out of the entire Getafe squad.

Standing marginally over 6 foot, unsurprisingly Unal possesses strong aerial ability as well as finishing, long-range shooting and defensive contribution ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134695/Show/Enes-%C3%9Cnal)), making the Turkish centre-forward an ideal addition to Klopp’s ranks as a direct replacement for super-sub Origi.
