Turkish Super Lig giants Besiktas JK have reportedly set their sights on Nigerian international Samuel Chukwueze, sparking excitement about a potential January transfer.
The AC Milan winger, who is a close ally of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, has been identified as a key target to strengthen the Turkish club’s offensive arsenal, Footballrover reports.
Chukwueze, 24, showcased his brilliance recently in Nigeria’s final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, scoring the opener against Rwanda.
Despite his stellar performance, the Super Eagles fell to a 2-1 defeat, but the winger’s talent was unmistakable.

This performance has only intensified interest from Besiktas, who are keen to tap into his attacking prowess.
While the winger’s stint at AC Milan has been less impactful than expected, his dynamic style and potential remain highly regarded.
Reports indicate that Besiktas are preparing a formal offer to lure him to the Turkish Super Lig, where he could reignite his career alongside his international teammate Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray.
“Besiktas has Milan’s Chukwueze on their radar. The management is preparing to make an offer to Osimhen’s national team friend.”
Besiktas’ management are eager to reinforce their squad, and Chukwueze is viewed as an ideal addition to their attacking lineup.
Known for his explosive pace and creativity, the Nigerian forward could bring a new dimension to the team’s attack.
However, AC Milan might be reluctant to let him go, as he remains an important rotational option behind Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao.
Negotiations are expected to gain momentum as the January transfer window approaches.
Besiktas aim to sign Chukwueze, hoping his move to the Turkish Super Lig will revive his form.
