Besiktas Eyes Newcastle’s Star for Defensive Reinforcement

Having experienced a decline in his position within the pecking order at St James’ Park in recent times, Lascelles now faces the possibility of a departure, particularly with mounting interest from Besiktas during this January transfer window.

Newcastle, grappling with Financial Fair Play constraints, could find value in offloading players such as Lascelles if a suitable opportunity presents itself.

Besiktas, on the other hand, is actively in search of defensive reinforcements this winter, with Lascelles emerging as a prime target to bolster their squad. The Turkish club is keen on fortifying their backline, and negotiations with the player could be pivotal in shaping the January transfer landscape.
