The Black Eagles released several statements today denying several transfer rumours and claiming them to be nothing more than provocative efforts by sections of the press to disrupt their title challenge.

Beşiktaş also denied being interested in HSV midfielder Van der Vaart and Eskişehirspor midfielder Raheem Lawal.

The Turkish giants also rejected rumours that they had made an offer for Boluspor youngster Emre Kılınç.

Beşiktaş take on Trabzonspor next. The Eagles beat Trabzonspor 3-0 the last time the two sides met in the first half of the season.

The Black Sea Storm are currently sixth in the Süper Lig but 5th placed Başakşehir and 4th placed Trabzonspor all share the same points – 47.
