Besiktas keen on Elyounoussi loan

Besiktas are reportedly keen on a loan move for Southampton’s Mohamed Elyounoussi.

According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, Besiktas are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of a push for the league title next season, and have identified Elyounoussi as a loan target. 

The Norway international has struggled to make an impact at St Mary’s following his £16million switch from FC Basel last summer, and was linked with a move away from the club this summer.

Elyounoussi, however, revealed in an interview in May that he is keen to impress Ralph Hasenhuttl in pre-season and compete for a first team spot for the 2019/20 campaign. 

The report suggests Besiktas have made an enquiry to Saints over their valuation of the winger, which is said to be in the region of €16million. 

Elyounoussi made 19 appearances in all competitions last season, but failed to find the back of the net and created just one assist.
