Brighton scouts will reportedly be in attendance at Anfield on Wednesday night to watch Galatasaray star Baris Alper Yilmaz in action.

The forward will be hoping to lead his side to victory over Liverpool on Merseyside, with the Turkish giants securing a 1-0 win in the first leg of the Champions League contest earlier this month.

Yilmaz has impressed for Galatasaray so far this season, scoring 10 goals and registering 12 assists in all competitions. The 25-year-old has predominantly played as a left-winger, but he is capable of playing on either flank and has enjoyed stints centrally as well, both as a striker and a No. 10.
