USMNT winger Boyd signs with Turkish giants Besiktas

United States international Tyler Boyd has joined Turkish giants Besiktas, the club has announced.

Besiktas won a battle that reportedly included David Beckham’s MLS expansion side, Inter Miami, which is set to start play in 2020 and had acquired his league discovery rights.

The Turkish side will reportedly pay Portuguese Primiera Liga club Vitoria Guimarares around $2.2 million for Boyd, who excelled in his first exposure to Turkish football during the second half of the 2018-19 season with Ankaragucu.
