Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny is in talks with Besiktas over a season-long loan move, according to Sky sources.
Last week, Gunners’ boss Unai Emery told Elneny he should leave the club before the end of the transfer window in search of first-team football.
The Egypt international is now edging closer to a move away from the Emirates to join the Turkish Super Lig club, who will cover his Arsenal wages.
Besiktas are looking for a central midfielder ahead of the transfer window deadline on Monday after Chile international Gary Medel left the club to join Serie A side Bologna on Thursday.
