Besiktas are ready to make a move for Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri this summer. The Swiss international is currently in Russia, taking part in the World Cup, but is angling for a move to Turkey when he eventually escapes the Bet365 Stadium.
He was playing against one of the world's strongest national sides on Sunday afternoon against Brazil, but Shaqiri looked a shadow of his former self as he failed to make any impact on the game. His focus will no doubt be solely on his country's performances over the next few weeks, but also behind the scenes, as his representatives are working on getting him away from Stoke.
