Fotospor claim Besiktas have identified Brighton and Hove Albion attacker Jose Izquierdo as a possible replacement for Fulham’s latest signing Ryan Babel.
Earlier this week the Turkish club confirmed they’d sold Ryan Babel to Fulham and are now in the market for a winger, with the Brighton player seemingly an option.
It’s reported the Colombian player’s agent Norman Capuozzo has arrived in Istanbul for talks with Besiktas vice president Serdal Adali, and the Turkish club are set to make a loan offer with an option to buy the 26 year old.
This season Izquierdo has played 9 Premier League games under Chris Hughton and Fotospor say Besiktas are ready to take him and give him much needed first team football.
Izquierdo has reportedly been followed by the Istanbul club since 2015, when he impressed whilst playing for his former side Club Brugge in the Europa League.
The 26-year old is under contract at Brighton until June 2021.
