Besiktas want Stefano Okaka

According to reports in Turkey, Besiktas are interested in signing Watford forward Stefano Okaka. The 29 year old has scored a handful of goals at Vicarage Road over the course of the last two and a half years, but he hasn’t quite been able to establish himself as a regular member of the first team set-up.

All of his appearances this season have been as a substitute, whereas Besiktas seem to be keen on making him a first team regular. The plan would be to establish him from the word go, replacing the likes of Alvaro Negredo and Cenk Tosun who both left the club within the last twelve months. Besiktas will supposedly first look into the possibility of a loan move, starting in the January transfer window, before trying to make it permanent in the summer.

Okaka joined back in 2016, when he made the jump over to English football from Belgian side Anderlecht.
