Besiktas interested in two goalkeepers playing in England

Turkish club Besiktas is interested in adding two goalkeepers with a lack of playing experience in England to their squad – Illan Meslier from Leeds United and Altay Bayindir from Manchester United.

Telegraph reports, citing talkSPORT, that although Frenchman Meslier, who has not played a single game for Leeds this season, is in Besiktas’s area of interest, he has no intention of leaving England.

Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has lost his place in the main squad after the arrival of Senne Lammens and has only appeared in 6 matches this season. The Turkish national team member is positive about continuing his career in his homeland.

It should be noted that since the transfer window in Turkey closes today, the “black eagles” must formalize both transfers in a short time.
