Fenerbahce are closing in on signing Liverpool centre-Back Martin Skrtel according, to Sky sources. The 31-year-old, who is currently on Euro 2016 duty with Slovakia, has been the subject of interest from other Turkish clubs but Fenerbahce are favourites to complete a deal which would bring to an an end an eight-year stint at Anfield.Skrtel signed a new three-year contract at Anfield last summer but has fallen out of favour under Jurgen Klopp. The 31-year-old started only four games since the New Year, with Klopp opting to partner Kolo Toure with Dejan Lovren in the absence of Mamadou Sakho. Toure has already been released this summer. Marek Hamsik is mobbed by teammates, including Skrtel, after scoring for Slovakia against Russia Liverpool signed Skrtel for £6.4m from Zenit Saint-Petersburg in January 2008 and he has made over 300 appearances for the club. Fenerbahce finished runners-up to Besiktas in last seasons Turkish league and will enter Champions League qualifying at the third round stage.More to follow Also See: Transfer Centre Latest transfer news Transfer betting Paper Talk Soccer Jerseys Outlet .

Rain is predicted for Thursdays first round at Oakmont, where tournament officials felt moved to cut the rough after conceding that it was too penal when combined with legendarily fast greens.Such conditions have prompted the likes of Jason Day and Rory McIlroy to plot a somewhat conservative game plan, but Scott is hoping the rain will help him challenge for a second major title. Ways to watch How to follow the US Open this week I was here a week and a half ago and it was playing nice and firm, Scott said on Wednesday. It rained a lot that night and I played the next day with Rory, and both of us probably made five or six birdies each that day, playing really nicely. The fairways become slightly wider because a ball down the edge of the fairway doesnt run out into the rough. Even though it may play longer, I think it will play much easier if it rains. Adam Scott of Australia watches his tee shot on the third hole during the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational I think youve got to challenge this golf course. You look at the field, you look at the quality of players and how well a lot of the top players are playing and its going to be a very, very difficult golf course to lay back and execute perfectly all week.That doesnt necessarily mean attack. Youve got to be a little bit smart, of course, but I think my plan certainly is to challenge this golf course this week.Dustin Johnson is another late starter during the opening round, featuring in a threeball with Hideki Matsuyama and Sergio Garcia. Johnson has been at Oakmont all week Johnson famously three-putted the 18th at Chambers Bay last year to narrowly miss out on US Open victory, but comes into the event in good form on the back of consecutive top-five finishes at the Memorial and the St.dddddddddddd Jude Classic.The American has also practiced at Oakmont ahead of the second major of the year, but hopes the weather doesnt alter the course condition.I played last Tuesday and it had rained pretty good Monday night, so Ive played when it was soft, Johnson told a pre-tournament press conference on Wednesday. I hit a couple more drivers than I would if the conditions play like this the rest of the week. Johnson already has seven top-10s in 2016 With softer fairways, the fairways get a little bit wider, and you can be a little more aggressive. I did get to play it when it was soft, so I do have an idea of how it plays if it does rain and its soft on Thursday.The conditions right now though I think are really great so hopefully, if it does rain, it doesnt rain much.Watch the US Open throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
