Liverpool are readying a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid winger Arda Turan, according to a Spanish newspaper report.

The Turkey international was linked with Brendan Rodgers' team - as well as Arsenal and Bayern Munich - during the January transfer window, however a switch failed to materialise.

But now Spanish publication AS claims the Reds will bid £19million for 26-year-old Turan, who joined Atletico from Galatasary in 2011.

And the player's agent, Ahmet Bulut, says his client will definitely be on the move in the close-season.

Bulut said: 'Arda has played at Atletico Madrid for two seasons now. I have wanted to see him play for another team in another league and Arda wants the same.

'I can't say the league or you'll know exactly who I'm talking about but let's just put it like this, there are only five to six clubs which could afford Arda right now and he's going to join one of these five clubs.'

Turan has been instrumental in Atletico's rise to second place in La Liga this term, while Chelsea fans may remember him for his pass that set up Falcao's third goal in the Spaniards' 4-1 Uefa Super Cup win in September.
