Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas reportedly want to send Dele Alli back to Everton but any return seems unlikely with there not thought to be a break clause in his loan agreement.
Alli, 26, joined Besiktas on loan from Everton last summer in a bid to spark some life into his fledgling career after a number of difficult years.
The former Tottenham man appeared delighted to have arrived in Turkey last summer, with supporters noting the return of a wide grin that had seemed to desert Alli amid the toughest spell of his career.
