Arsenal defender Cedric Soares is emerging as a serious January target for Besiktas.
Talks over a move for the Portuguese right-back, who is surplus to requirements at the Emirates Stadium, to join the Turkish club are underway.
The finer details of the potential move are still to be decided with Soares into the final six months of his deal at Arsenal.
But sources with knowledge of the deal are indicating that an agreement is moving closer - but whether Soares joins immediately this month or as a Bosman at the end of the season still needs deciding.
