Ozan Kabak expresses desire to stay at Liverpool this summer amid transfer uncertainty as Turkish defender reveals advice from 'idol' Virgil van Dijk has helped him adapt to 'tough' Premier League

Ozan Kabak has outlined his desire to stay at Liverpool and insisted an unforgiving first experience of the Premier League has been invaluable.

The Turkey international was brought in on loan in January, as Liverpool desperately tried to find a solution to their defensive injury crisis. His move was completed on deadline day but there was no clause in the deal with Schalke 04 to make the switch permanent at the end of the campaign.

Kabak, who can leave the German side this summer for £18million, had to wait two weeks for his debut but when he was finally pitched into the side, the situation was anything but ideal.
