Besiktas Make Offer for Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke Ahead of Potential Loan Move in January

Turkish side Besiktas have reportedly made enquiries about the availability of Christian Benteke ahead of a potential loan move in January.

Having sold Cenk Tosun and Alvaro Negredo in 2018, the Super Lig side have been long reported to be chasing a new striker, with links to Javier Hernandez emerging in recent weeks.

According to Milliyet, however, the club now sees Benteke as its main target, and have made an initial loan offer ahead of a January move.

The report claims that Besiktas expect talks to take place into the new year over the 28-year-old, who has been sidelined since September with a knee injury.
