Besiktas are lining up a bid for Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck.

Turkish media sources say Welbeck has endured a frustrating injury-hit spell at Arsenal - and he could be a summer target for Besiktas.

The England forward - who will be part of Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad this summer - joined the Gunners in 2014 but failed to establish himself under Arsene Wenger.

And according to reports in Turkey, Besiktas are considering a move for the 27-year-old as a replacement for Talisca who is heading back to Benfica following a two-year loan spell.

Welbeck's contract at the Emirates has only 12 months to run but Welbeck will likely wait to discover if he has a future under incoming manager Unai Emery.
