Costa courted by Besiktas

Besiktas are reportedly keen on landing Chelsea front man Diego Costa.

The wantaway striker is not in Antonio Conte’s plans for the new season after a furious row.

Costa was widely expected to rejoin his former club, Atletico Madrid, but their transfer registration ban appears to have caused complications in the deal.

According to AS, Turkish club Besiktas, who have already landed former Real Madrid defender Pepe this summer, are hoping that they can take advantage of the situation and make a late swoop.
