Besiktas have revealed the transfer chase for in-demand left back Ridvan Yilmaz is heating up after Rangers were linked with a move for the Turkish international.
Rangers have replaced Ajax-bound Calvin Bassey with Liverpool defender Ben Davies, but still need another option at left back and reports state Yilmaz is on their radar. The 21-year-old seemed set to complete a £4million transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt last week, but the move stalled and appears to be on the brink of collapse because the Germans wanted to complete the deal using staggered payments with the Istanbul side demanding the full payment immediately.
And Rangers could gain a measure of revenge on their Europa League Final conquerors by moving to the front of the queue to bag Yilmaz, although Besiktas vice-president Emre Kocadag has revealed there are plenty of clubs in the hunt for his player, with Torino also credited with an interest.
