Turkey international Abdulkadir Omur has emerged as top transfer target for Premier League table toppers Liverpool this month.

Jurgen Klopp's men are at the summit of the table with 54 points - four points better than defending champions Manchester City after 21 matches.

Meanwhile Omur's versatility has attracted interest from Liverpool who are willing to add depth to their squad this mid-season.

During his first year at his present club, the midfielder bagged three goals and six assists after being promoted from the youth team in 2016.

The Reds will have to pay a sum of £27 million for the midfielder who the Premier League club are considering as a replacement for Adam Lallana.

Speaking to De Marke Sports, Omur addressed the rumours, he said: "Liverpool is a very important club.

"But the most important thing is Trabzonspor's interests. If my club tell me that I can go, I'll go. And if they tell me to stay, I'll stay. We'll see."

Klopp had admitted in a press conference that he didn't expect there would be any surprise signings this window, but the Turkish star's arrival is through to be dependant on Lallana's future at Anfield.

Turkish side Fenerbache are thought to be keen on the injury-prone midfielder and have offered the 30-year-old the chance to get regular game time.

So far this month, Liverpool have sold Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth for £19 million and Nathaniel Clyne has joined him on loan for the remainder of the season.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Premier league side Bournemouth have agreed a deal to sign Liverpool full-back Nathaniel Clyne on loan until the end of the 2018-19 season.

Sky Sports reports that the 27-year-old, who has just four Premier League appearances this campaign will help Bournemouth’s injury situation with Simon Francis and Adam Smith out on the sidelines.

Interestingly, Bournemouth had to improvise during their 3-3 draw with Watford on Wednesday, with Junior Stanislas moved to right wing-back by club boss manager Eddie Howe.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
