Fenerbahçe left-back Caner Erkin is being scouted by a number of Premier League clubs according to his agent Batur Altıparmak.

"A few Premier League clubs have been scouting Caner and a few are interested," Batur Altıparmak said speaking to Turkish-football.com.

"However, no offers have been made yet."

Liverpool have been closely monitoring Erkin as they continue their search to strengthen at left-back.

The Reds can enter direct talks with Erkin as he has yet to extend his contract which is set to expire at the end of the season.

Despite the interest Altıparmak underlines that Erkin is happy at Fenerbahçe and will hold talks with the Yellow Canaries before deciding on his future.

Altıparmak said, "Caner is happy at Fenerbahçe and will hold talks with the club first."

Erkin joined CSKA Moscow for €3 million aged 19 and later went onto play for Galatasaray on loan after which he joined Fenerbahçe on a permanent move for €3 million in 2010.

The Turkish international is a versatile left-back who can also play on the left-wing in attacking roles.

Erkin has provided the highest number of assists in the Super League (9) this season and also has two goals including a candidate for goal of the season. 

The 25-year-old lifted the Turkish Cup for the second year running and played an important role in Fenerbahçe reaching the Europa League semi-finals last season.
