Per the source Arsenal have been scouting Talisca as have Liverpool and Everton.

Talisca has been in great form this season scoring 10 goals and providing five assists despite spending a lengthy period out injured.

The 23-year-old is currently on a two-year loan at Besiktas from Benfica.

The Portuguese giants have however, included a £21 million release clause fee which can be activated at any time during his temporary stay.

Talisca is currently the fourth highest rated player – statistically – in the Turkish league according to Whoscored.

The powerful midfielder takes more shots on target than any other player in the league, averaging 3.9 per-game.

Talisca has eight goals in 15 Turkish league starts giving him one of the best conversion rates in the Super Lig.
