Euro giants line up replacement for £10m Crystal Palace bound 20-goal striker Cenk Tosun
Besiktas are lining up a replacement for the out-bound Turkey international striker Cenk Tosun.
Tosun has been closely linked with a move to Premier League duo Newcastle United and Crystal Palace.
According to the Turkish outlet Fotospor, Besiktas are drawing up a shortlist of possible replacements.
Fortunately for Besiktas, the transfer window in Turkey ends next week. Per the source, Krasnodar striker Fedor Smolov currently tops Besiktas list of striker targets.
Aboubakar, Demba Ba and Mario Gomez are understood to be on the list.

Cenk played a major role in Besiktas’ back-to-back Turkish league title wins. The 26-year-old netted an impressive 20 goals in 33 league games last season.
However, Cenk may find first-team opportunities hard to come by this term following the signing of Alvaro Negredo from Valencia. The 26-yea-old has scored five goals in 19 games for the Turkey national team.
Crystal Palace take on Burnley FC in their next Premier League fixture on September 10.
