Having already added a right-back, left-back, centre-back, left winger and attacking midfielder to their squad this summer, Besiktas are now also looking for a striker.
They have until the Turkish transfer window shuts at the end of this month to do a deal and, according to Hurriyet, have set their sights on Crystal Palace’s Christian Benteke.
The Belgian striker has also been linked with a move to Fenerbahce but the outlet claim Besiktas manager Abdullah Avci has identified him as a target as he is keen to bolster his attacking options.
The manager wants to add another option to his team as a result and that has seemingly caused him to turn his attention to the Belgium international.
Hurriyet say Besiktas are targeting a loan deal for the 28-year-old rather than a permanent one, but it isn’t mentioned how Palace would view such a proposal.
If Palace are unwilling to do business, Besiktas have an alternative, with the newspaper reporting they are also interested in signing Amiens’ Pape Moussa Konaté.
