Besiktas boss Gio van Bronckhorst has reportedly held talks with Rangers captain James Tavernier's agent with speculation over a move to Turkey ramping up.
A host of clubs have been tipped with a move for the Ibrox star in recent days with Turkish clubs Istanbul Basaksehir, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray were credited with as well as Al-Arabi and Al-Garafa in Qatar - with the Qatari transfer window closing today while business can still be conducted by Super Lig sides until Friday, September 13.
However, reports in Turkey suggest that former Rangers boss Van Bronckhorst has made Tavernier his top target with deadline day fast approaching.
The club had been credited with an interest in the right-back earlier this summer and Fotomac now report that the club are escalating their pursuit of the Englishman.
