Nuri Sahin:

Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin left Dortmund in 2011 for Real Madrid with high hopes of becoming a regular starter for the Los Blancos.

But as it turned out, he didn’t fit well in Jose Mourinho’s plans, as a result of which he was sent on loan to Liverpool in August 2012. He failed to make impact at Liverpool and after just six months, he was again loaned back Dortmund.

It is an established fact that Sahin is an extremely talented footballer and possess the ability to dictate the flow of the game. He has great vision and is an excellent long-range passer of the ball.

With Ilkay Gundogan and Sven Bender playing the roles of the pivots in midfield, Sahin could be used further up the field. His shooting ability and incisive passing could be used to great effect in the hole.

Having worked with Klopp before and having graduated from Dortmund’s academy, Sahin would be welcomed back with arms wide open if he were to make his loan move permanent.
