Liverpool on alert for Dortmund ace

Premier League target Nuri Sahin could be on his way out of Borussia Dortmund - sparking a fight among Chelsea and Liverpool for his signature.

TalkSPORT understands that Dortmund have lined up a replacement for the talented playmaker, who has been watched by Premier League scouts numerous times this season.

Nuremberg midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is on the verge of moving to Dortmund and sources at the club claim he's going there to replace Sahin.

Germany Under-21 international Gundogan, 20, is set for a £4m move to Dortmund this summer and that has plunged Sahin's future into doubt.

Turkey international Sahin, 22, is coveted by most of Europe and Chelsea have monitored him in the past, although Kenny Dalglish is eager to overhaul his squad this summer and has also targeted him.
