The 22-year-old did, however, make his Newcastle debut in the FA Cup during the Magpies third-round win over Birmingham back in January 2017.

Besiktas are expected to make changes to their squad following a turbulent 12-months which saw them finish the league in fourth spot. The Black Eagles are keen to lower the average age of their squad over the summer.
