Turkish newspaper Sabah claim Besiktas are chasing Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke.
Sabah say Besiktas’ transfer committee is considering the Belgian striker as an alternative to Tosun, and the Crystal Palace player’s eligibility to play in the Champions League could be a key factor.
Crystal Palace’s valuation of Benteke may prove a stumbling block for a potential transfer, but Sabah believe a trade scenario including Tosun could be on the agenda.
Tosun has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace in recent months, after their attempts to sign the Turkey international last summer. The Premier League side have continued to track the player, but face more competition to sign him this time round.
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson seems to be running out of patience with Benteke, and last weekend he condemned him for his actions during the infamous penalty situation.
The 27 year old has yet to find the net in the Premier League this season, and the chance to get Tosun could prove tempting for Crystal Palace.
