According to multiple reports, Besiktas are in formal negotiations with Leicester over the signing of Wout Faes. The defender has been a target for some time, and talks are said to be intensifying as the window progresses. The player remains under contract, but movement looks increasingly likely the longer talks go on. While Besiktas and Leicester continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Lazio reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Defensively, Besiktas are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.33 goals conceded per game. Someone like Wout Faes could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Alongside this, Leicester are said to be exploring Joao Pedro Seno Luis Rego, Pierce Charles and Illan Meslier with Besiktas likewise connected to Danilho Doekhi. More on this story as it develops.
