The 19-year-old who signed for the Cottagers in the summer of 2010, has decided to return to his home country in search of regular first team football.<br />

Fulham manager Martin Jol told reporters:&nbsp;<em>"Kerim has progressed well through his time in the Academy and into the fringes of the first team, which enabled him to play for the Turkish national team, which is a big thing for him.<br /><br />"But for him to continue this progression and to really fulfill his potential he needs to play week in, week out, and I couldn't offer him that as part of the first team here, so we decided to accept the offer from Besiktas.<br /><br />"He's sure to have a big impact back in Turkey and I know that on a personal level it's a good option for him."</em>
