Lens is no stranger to the Turkish Super League, the former PSV star spent last season on loan at Besiktas’ rivals Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce have also attempted to sign Lens on loan this summer but have been unable to strike a deal with Sunderland.

Lens made the move to Sunderland from Dynamo Kiev for £8 million back in 2015.

The 29-year-old racked up an impressive 17 assists and five goals in 38 appearances for Fenerbahce.
