Newcastle United are rivaling Besiktas for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is willing to see Sturridge sold this summer after his disappointing loan spell with West Brom.

Aksam says Besiktas are exploring the possibility of signing the player.

Toon boss Rafa Benitez is also keen, but the passionate response from Turkish fans could tempt Sturridge into choosing the Black Eagles.

Besiktas supporters have inundated Sturridge's Instagram account urging him to make the move to Turkey.
