According to Turkish tabloid , the 29-year-old is willing to accept Besiktas deal only if he is offered first team football.

"Mikel did enquire about Besiktas and there were talks it all depends on what their board decide to do," one of his representatives, Mesrun Izzet is quoted to say by Haberturk.com.

"Money is of course important but Mikel wants first-team football if he is to move.“

Besiktas tried to get Mikel Obi last year but Jose Mourinho stopped the move as he wanted the midfielder to be part of his squad.

The Turkish side is also trying to lure another Nigerian player from Chelsea, Kenneth Omeruo.

Ahead of next season, Besiktas are willing to get the defender but are waiting for the permission of new Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte.
