The 26-year-old has started every game for Besiktas this season. The Istanbul Giants will need to act fast and sign a replacement if they are to offload Cenk this summer.

Cenk may however find first-team opportunities hard to come by this season after Besiktas signed Alvaro Negredo from Valencia.

The 26-year-old striker has scored five goals in 19 appearances for the Turkey national team.
