Beşiktaş has announced that they are in talks with Malian forward El Bilal Touré.
The cost of the player has not been officially disclosed.
The 23-year-old, who currently plays for Atalanta, is considered to have great potential.
Touré has scored 9 goals in 25 appearances for his national team, while last season he managed 3 goals and 1 assist in 17 matches. Although his primary position is center-forward, he can also play on the right and left wings.
Beşiktaş has already signed Tammy Abraham for that position.
Therefore, it was not expected that their next transfer would be for the forward line. The club was particularly expected to reinforce the wings and full-back positions.
However, with this potential transfer, Beşiktaş might switch to a dual-striker formation similar to rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.
Considering the team’s wing deficiencies, a 4-1-2-1-2 formation could be suitable for Beşiktaş.
