Newcastle United are reportedly exploring a potential move for Besiktas winger Semih Kılıçsoy, a highly-rated young talent who has caught the eye in the Turkish Süper Lig and on the international stage.
The 19-year-old has been a key player for Besiktas this season, showcasing his talent in the Europa League and attracting interest from several top European clubs.

Chronicle Live understands that intermediaries are working to find a new club for Kılıçsoy, with Newcastle emerging as a potential destination. The winger is valued at around £16 million, but no concrete offers have been made yet.
Kılıçsoy has already earned four caps for the Turkish national team, including appearances at Euro 2024 and in the UEFA Nations League.
This move would echo Newcastle’s previous successful transfer of Turkish talent, with the club having previously signed Emre, who became a fan favorite during his time at St. James’ Park.
While Kılıçsoy may not be the most high-profile target, he possesses the potential to become a valuable asset for Newcastle in the future.
The January transfer window remains open, and Newcastle will continue to assess potential targets as they look to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
The Turkish international has two goals and six assists in 28 appearances in all competitions this season.
