Besiktas have entered the race to sign Everton attacker Nikola Vlasic this summer.

The Turkish side join CSKA Moscow and a host of other European clubs in wanting the 21-year-old.

Vlasic has spent this season on loan with CSKA and has impressed with eight goals and seven assists, including a strike against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The Croatian international asked for a move away from Goodison last summer with Marco Silva unable to offer him any guarantees over playing time.

It is understood that Vlasic now wants to leave Everton permanently.

CSKA have made no secret of their desire to turn his loan into a permanent move but now face competition from Besiktas for his services.

Everton are likely to demand a profit on the £10m they paid for Vlasic in August 2017 but the Blues risk pricing out CSKA and Besiktas if the set the asking price too high.

Both clubs' record signings come under the £10m mark and they may choose to try and land Vlasic on loan.

The former Hajduk Split player still has three years left on his contract at Goodison.
