Besiktas deny transfer talks with Onyekuru

Besiktas, one of the big football clubs in Turkey’s Super Lig, has denied the news that they are talking about signing Nigerian winger Henry Onyekuru.

Last week, some news sources in Turkey said that Besiktas, also known as the Black Eagles, were interested in signing the talented winger who can play in many positions.

Besiktas quickly replied on their official website, calling the news “completely baseless” and saying it is not true.

In a statement, the club said, “The news shared on TV and social media about our club having talks with Henry Onyekuru is completely false.”

Henry Onyekuru is now close to finishing his contract with Al Fahya, a football team in the Saudi Arabia Professional League.

The 27-year-old player has played in Turkey before. He was with Galatasaray and Adana Demirspor in the past.
