Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun has been closely linked with a move to Newcastle United this season.
The Turkish international’s father Senol Tosun reportedly travelled to England to hold talks with Newcastle officials according to Sport Arena.
Per the source, Senol represents his son and will hold talks with Besiktas next over what their plans are for the striker.
Negotiations between Besiktas and Newcastle are expected to continue over the next few weeks.
The Eagles are not keen on selling their star man in January unless the price is right.
