Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas has publicly dismissed reports linking the club with a move for Nigerian winger Henry Onyekuru, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Earlier on Monday, several media outlets suggested that Besiktas had expressed interest in signing the Al Fayha forward.

However, the club has issued an official statement refuting the claims.

“The news published in visual and social media, claiming that our club has held transfer negotiations with professional footballer Henry Onyekuru, is completely baseless,” the statement read.

“We kindly request that all developments regarding our Football First Team be followed through our official channels and that no credence be given to news not shared by our club.”

Onyekuru, 27, is currently under contract with Saudi Arabian side Al Fayha, but his deal is set to expire at the end of this month.
