Karius set for loan

Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius is set to join Besiktas on a two-year loan, it is understood.

Karius made two costly errors in the Champions League final in May and his Anfield career looks to be over.

Turkish side Besiktas are understood to have an option to buy Karius at the end of the loan.

The German, who joined the Reds from Mainz in 2016, was not involved in the matchday squad for the Reds’ Premier League match at Crystal Palace last night.
