Besiktas have been trying to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel in recent weeks, but the talks have proved abortive. However, in the meantime, they have identified a Super Eagles attacker as a potential target this summer, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Black Eagles are coming of a disappointing campaign, as they finished fourth in the Turkish Super Lig, 33 points behind Istanbul rivals Galatasaray.
Due to their disappointing season, Besiktas are looking to bring in some quality players this summer.

They have been trying to get Osayi-Samuel, but it appears the Super Eagles star is unsatisfied with their offer.
The former Super Lig champions are now looking elsewhere. According to Kartal Hati, Besiktas are seriously interested in Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze.

The 26-year-old attacker is out of favour at AC Milan and has been deemed as surplus to requirements. The Rossoneri want to sell, but no club has put in a decent bid yet.
Nonetheless, Besiktas can fancy their chances of landing Chukwueze, as he is valued at €10 million on Transfermarkt, which is decent money for Besiktas.
Should Samuel Chukwueze consider joining Besiktas?
As things stand, it is difficult to predict Samuel Chukwueze's next club even though it is almost certain that he will leave AC Milan this summer.
No club has presented an offer for the Super Eagles star just yet. He has been linked with English Premier League club Fulham, but they have not tabled a bid yet.
Moving to Besiktas might be a step down for Chukwueze, as he will no longer be in the limelight. He has to prioritize a transfer to the English Premier League or the LaLiga if he wants to remain relevant.
