Despite impressing against Arsenal, Lucas Leiva is still expected to leave Liverpool in the coming days.

The Daily Mail says the Brazilian midfielder has agreed to move to Besiktas on a season-long loan.

Lucas started in Monday's goalless draw at Arsenal.

The 28-year-old is still expected to move to Turkey, however, despite Reds boss Brendan Rodgers saying: "Lucas is our best defensive midfield player.

"There are games where I play three midfielders, but not always one specifically defensive. When we need that, he's the best we have."
