Nottingham Forest forward Jesse Lingard has been offered to Turkish side Besiktas, it is claimed.
The former Manchester United player has struggled to impress since arriving at the City Ground last summer. Lingard has scored just twice for the Reds with both goals coming in the Carabao Cup.
The 30-year-old has also seen his game time limited in recent months having played just two minutes for Steve Cooper's side since Forest lost 3-1 to Tottenham in March.

And now Turkish newspaper the Hurriyet claim that Besiktas are looking at signing a number 10 in the summer and Lingard has been offered to them via intermediaries. His contract at the Reds expires in the summer when he will be available as a free agent.
Besiktas are currently third in the Turkish Super Lig, the top tier of football in Turkey. They sit five points behind leaders Galatasaray and could qualify for the Champions League if they finish in the top two.
Lingard's arrival in the East Midlands was one of 30 additions to the Reds' squad since last summer as they fight to retain their Premier League status for next season. Forest are three points clear of the bottom three with just three games left.
