According to exclusive information from Africafoot, Beşiktaş JK have placed the Malian international at the top of their priority list for this winter window. The Istanbul-based club are looking to strengthen their attack and are particularly drawn to the quick, dribbling and explosive profile of the former Istanbulspor forward.

Regarded as the future star of Mali's right flank — technically and physically gifted, and capable of bringing stability to the attacking department — the player is held in high regard by the Turkish board. According to Africafoot's sources, contacts and negotiations have already been opened between the various parties.

The Malian international could therefore make his return to Turkey as early as this winter. It is a saga set to become one of the talking points of this winter transfer window. As a reminder, according to Africafoot's revelations, the Turkish club had already signalled their interest in the Malian winger a few months ago.
