Besiktas eyeing Watford striker Okaka

Besiktas are being linked with a move for Watford striker Stefano Okaka.

Turkish outlets suggest the 29-year-old, who has only played three times this season, is wanted to replace recently departed strikers.

Alvaro Negredo and Cenk Tosun have departed the club in the past 12 months. And Okaka is seen as an ideal man to lead the line.

Besiktas are hoping for a loan until the end of the season, with a view towards making the move permanent.

Okaka has been at Watford since 2016.
