Turkish side Besiktas are plotting a move for Stefano Okaka, according to reports from Turkey.
The 29-year-old has featured just three times so far this season, all from the bench, and the reports suggest that Besiktas have identified the striker as a possible replacement for Cenk Tosun and Alvaro Negredo, both of whom have left the club in the last year.
Okaka, who joined the Hornets from Anderlecht in August 2016, has struggled to make himself a first-team fixture since the move.
It is claimed the club, who currently sit third in the Turkish Super League, eight points behind leaders Istanbul Basaksehir, are looking to take the four-capped Italian international on loan before making the move permanent.
