Besiktas have signed Sampdoria defender Omar Colley.

As announced by Sampdoria, Colley has now joined Besiktas in a permanent deal for a fee of €2.5m.

The 30-year-old Gambian moves to Besiktas just a day after Nicolo Zaniolo's move to Galatasaray was confirmed.

Colley joined the Blucerchiati in July 2018 from Genk in a deal worth around €9.25m. He scored three goals and provided one assist across 136 appearances in all competitions.
