Turkish-Football first reported about the Black Eagles interest in Barlaser back in March.

The Istanbul giants are keen on the young midfielder as they believe he is versatile enough to play in several roles on the right flank.

Besiktas have made strengthening their right flank and midfield a priority over the summer.

The Eagles would be able to offer Barlaser regular playing time and the chance to gain Champions League experience next season.

Besiktas have won the last two championships and are already expected to be involved in the title race next season.

The Gateshead born midfielder who can represent both England and Turkey at international level – due to having Turkish heritage – played for the Newcastle U-23 side for most of the season.

Barlaser recently hinted in an interview with the Chronicle that he may consider a move to gain more first team football: “The last time I played international football was for England.

“If I get to play first team football, maybe on loan somewhere, I might have a chance to play regularly at international level.”
