Middlesbrough striker Chuba Akpom is being linked with Besiktas, as per a report by Futbol Arena. 

Middlesbrough are said to be open to letting him leave this summer.

Akpom only joined Middlesbrough last summer from Greek club PAOK but has struggled for goals for Neil Warnock’s side, managing just five in 37 games in all competitions.

He started his career at Arsenal and rose up through academy before going on to play 12 times for their first-team.

He left Arsenal on a permanent basis for PAOK and spent two years in Greece, chipping in with a combined 18 goals.

Middlesbrough lured him back to England last year but may try and offload him already.

Millwall, QPR and Charlton have all been mentioned over recent times and it will be interesting to see if they attempt to lure him back to London.

Besiktas are now believed to be in the frame as they prepare for next season.
