Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Liverpool target Denis Cheryshev is expected to leave the club today.

The Russian winger has made just two La Liga appearances for the Spanish giants this term and he’s desperate to move for more playing time.

Brendan Rodgers was interested in the 25-year-old in the summer and, with a move for Alex Teixeira in the balance, Klopp has moved quickly to bring the winger to Anfield.

And, with the transfer window closing at 11pm tonight, Zidane has confirmed that he expects the winger to leave the Bernabeu today.

‘Yes we are going to see tomorrow but I think he could still leave,’ Zidane said last night.

‘The important thing for him is to have playing time.

‘He is a great player, he needs time and I wish him the best.

‘If he has the chance to leave and play, then I am delighted for him. We will see tomorrow.’
