Besiktas offers player plus loan fee for Nwakaeme

Turkish giants, Besiktas, are reportedly interested in Nigeria forward Anthony Nwakaeme.

Nwakaeme is currently playing for Saudi Arabian Professional league side Al-Fayha, but sources claimed the veteran is the top transfer target for Besiktas.

The 33-year-old enjoyed a productive spell in Turkey with Trabzonspor, leading the club to Cup and league glory before his exit last summer.

According to Sporx, Besiktas sporting director, Ceyhun Kazanci, has already made contact with Nwakaeme and his Saudi Club over a possible transfer.

It is understood that Besiktas want to offer a player in a swap deal on a loan for the rest of the season.

It remains unclear if Al-Fayha will accept the offer as Nwakaeme is just four months into the two-year deal with Al-Fayha.

The striker scored three goals in seven appearances for Al-Fayha FC in the Saudi Pro League this season.
