We weren't holding our breath and for a while it looked like the January transfer window would fizzle out and result in disappointment but the Black Eagles have made two big statement transfers on deadline day! First up Besiktas have signed ERNEST MUCI from Legia Warsaw on a permanent transfer, president Hasan Arat used his connections with the Polish prime minister Duda to get this deal done and personally went over to conclude the negotiations with Legia. Muçi is a 22 year old Albanian international, regarded as a prime talent, he plays primarily as an offensive midfielder but can also play on either wing and as a striker. Second up Besiktas have loaned SC Braga's Libyan defensive midfielder Ali Al-Musrati. Musrati again is a highly regarded player in the Portuguese league, known for his passing ability alongside his defensive capabilities. He's 27 years old, Besiktas have loaned him with an option to buy. And of course Besiktas had already signed the Englishman Joe Worrall earlier int he week from Nottingham Forest, the 27 year old English central defender captained Forest for many years and is known as a very combative defender. Finally Besiktas are also closing in on a deal for FC De Graafschap's 19 year old left winger Basar Önal, again a highly regarded talent from the Dutch second division, Basar holds a Turkish passport alongside his Dutch passport.

It's been two weeks since we last spoke! So it's time to recap the past 2,5 weeks int he world of the Black Eagles. Beşiktaş were unceremoniously eliminated from the UEFA Conference league following a 1-2 loss against Bodo/Glimt and to add insult to injury were beaten on the following weekend in Antalya, despite taking the lead just before halftime. Burak Yilmaz resigned after these two results and Rıza Çalımbay stept up to the plate to ferry Beşiktaş back to shore. Ante Rebic steals the show in Riza's debut match as new head coach (vs Basaksehir).
