Ugurcan Cakir revealed as Europe's top goalkeeper as Premier League clubs scout Trabzonspor number 1

Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir leads Europe in save percentage, having been watched by clubs from the Premier League.

The 25-year-old played for Turkey at Euro 2020 and has been attracting interest from across Europe.

He's believed to be wanted by Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, as well as teams in Serie A and La Liga.

In addition reports in Turkey state that English Premier League clubs have been scouting Cakir with a view to making a move.

Trabzonspor president Ahmet Agaoglu stated in January 2020 that Liverpool had made an offer, and with his numbers the goalkeeper is sure to be in demand this summer.

It's believed his club would be willing to do business at the right price.

The shot-stopper has the highest save percentage from the top European leagues, and was named Man of the Match in a win over Galatasaray last month.

His record has him ahead of the likes of Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal and Inter number one Samir Handanovic.

Walter Benitez - Nice: 78 per cent
