Turkish Clubs Besiktas & Trabzonspor Join Race to Sign Leicester Defender Yohan Benalouane

Turkish clubs Besiktas and Trabzonspor have joined the race to sign Leicester defender Yohan Benalouane, according to L'Equipe - via Sport Witness.

The French centre-back was last week linked with a move to Osmanlispor with his future in the Premier League growing increasingly doubtful.

There now appears to be three Turkish sides set to battle it out for the transfer of Benalouane before the close of the transfer window.

It is believed that Osmanlispor have offered the 30-year-old a three-year contract, although no details of a fee have been revealed.

Leicester are reportedly looking to free up some room on their wage bill and are expected to allow Benalouane to leave.
