Ozan Kabak jets to Liverpool on private plane after deadline day move

  /  autty

Ozan Kabak is en route to Liverpool aboard a private plane having signed for Jurgen Klopp's side from Schalke on deadline day.

The 20-year-old central defender posted a picture on his Instagram story of himself climbing aboard before jetting off to Merseyside.

Kabak, who has joined on loan with the option to buy in the summer, tagged his new side on the snap of the private plane.

It was a grey day in Gelsenkirchen, but Kabak will be hopeful of a bright future at Anfield.

The youngster will provide much-needed reinforcement at the back, along with Ben Davies, who joined from Preston on Monday.

Joel Matip's ankle ligament injury means he will miss rest of the season and with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez sidelined for the long term, there was pressure on Liverpool to bring in new recruits.

Kabak joins for a £1.5m loan fee from Schalke with the option to buy for £18m at the end of the season but there is no obligation to make the deal permanent.
