According to a claim in the Turkish media, Besiktas are interested in signing Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi before the deadline.
The Turkish side have been quiet in this transfer window because of their financial difficulties and so far, they’ve only signed Tyler Boyd and Douglas.
Stoke City’s Bruno Martins Indi remains a target for the Black Eagles and Fanatik claim they’re also looking to bring in Elyounoussi.
Its reported agents have offered the Southampton player to the Super Lig club and the Besiktas board are looking at his situation before making an offer.
A loan deal, with an option to buy could be a possibility for the 24 year old, who joined Southampton from Basel for €18m last summer.
It seems the Norwegian isn’t an integral part of Ralph Hasenhüttl’s plans and the Saints could let him leave on a temporary basis.
This summer the Premier League side have signed Moussa Djenepo from Standard Liege, which could have an impact on Elyounoussi’s chances next season.
He made 16 appearances in his debut season in England and is under contract with the Premier League club until June 2023.
