Besiktas are showing serious intent in making a move for Mohamed Elneny.

The Arsenal and Egypt midfielder is down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium club this season.

According to NTV Spor, Besiktas have put in an offer to the Gunners, as they hope to secure Elneny very quickly.

There is no suggestion whether the transfer would be a loan or a permanent deal.

The source claims Besiktas want the transfer done in time to register Elneny for their Champions League matches.
