Speaking about Elneny, Uzun said he knows Besiktas’ manager and the club board are looking to keep him in the team for next year, and added that another year of loan deal could be a possibility: “Both Besiktas manager Sergen Yalcin and club’s board are very happy with him. He’s a very quality player and Besiktas would like to keep him in their squad for next season. I think they are working on extending his loan contract.”
Earlier this week there reports in the Turkish press that Besiktas want to keep hold of the Arsenal owned player and that their manager Sergen Yalcin was keen to have him in his team for next season.
