Turkish side Besiktas will look to land the signature of Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel after they failed to get a deal done for Liverpool's Lucas Leiva.
The Brazilian international had been tipped to make his way to Turkey, but Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers made a U-turn and opted to keep hold of the midfielder.
A report from The Mail now claims that out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has become Besiktas' top target with the transfer window closing next week.
Mikel has been at Chelsea since 2006.
