1 Junior Hoilett in action for QPR

Besiktas have made an approach for QPR winger Junior Hoilett, claim reports in Turkey.

The Canadian is out of contract at Loftus Road at the end of the season and is understood to be seriously considering a move to Istanbul to join up with international team-mate Atiba Hutchinson.

According to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, Hutchinson has been acting as the intermediary in the deal and is hopeful of convincing Hoilett to leave London in June.

Besiktas have been keen on Hoilett for a while, having tried to sign him last summer, and believe the prospect of playing Champions League football next term will be enough to persuade the 25-year-old to move to Turkey.

Hoilett began his senior career at Blackburn and spent five years at Ewood Park before signing for QPR in 2012.
