Besiktas have sent scouts to Brazil to monitor the Palmeiras midfielder Marcos Arouca.

The Istanbul based club are on the hunt for a new central midfielder after failing to agree terms with Atiba Hutchinson.

Atiba’s contract with Besiktas expires at the end of the season and the 32-year-old is expected to sign for Toronto FC in July.

Arouca has three years remaining on his contract but can leave for a cut price if a European side wants to sign him due to a clause in his contract.

The 28-year-old made 32 appearances for Palmeiras during the 2013-14 season.
