Liverpool are reported to be interested in signing Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey.
Boey joined the Turkish giants last summer and has starred in all but one of his side's league matches this season as they challenge for the title. It seems 22-year-old's performances have not gone unnoticed, however, as clubs circle for his signature.
A latest report by Jeunes Footeux has stated Lyon have expressed an interest in the France youth international but describe the competition to sign him as 'tough'. Real Madrid are also listed as a possible destination, with Liverpool and Palace representing the Premier League teams said to be paying close attention to the player.

The article adds that Palace boss Patrick Vieira has namechecked Boey ahead of the January window and is prepared to put an offer of €16m (£14m) on the table. Unwilling to allow this to occur, though, TRT Spor have claimed the defender is set to be offered a new deal at Galatasaray that would see his wages doubled.
Dealing a further blow to Liverpool's apparent hopes of recruiting Boey, Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek has made it clear they do not wish to offload key players in the middle of a title tilt.
“We do not intend to sell any players,” Ozbek told Sabah. “We have a very good squad, and we are fighting for the title. Besides Sacha Boey and (Danish centre-half) Victor Nelsson, there are offers for three or four more players. Because the squad is a very good squad.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool's undisputed first-choice right-back. They also signed Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen in the summer, which makes the link with Boey surprising.
