Turkish champions Besiktas have reportedly planned to battle off competition for Cyle Larin, amidst Premier League interest in the forward.
The Canadian international, who has netted three goals in the opening seven games of the season in the Turkish top flight, is said to have attracted widespread interest from across Europe, with several English sides joining the race.
According to HITC, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have all declared their interest in the striker, who is yet to agree a new contract in Istanbul.
With his current deal expiring next summer, the 26-year-old is free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with other clubs after the turn of the year, and the Black Eagles now reportedly fear losing him to the Premier League.
Since arriving at Besiktas in 2018, Larin has netted 35 goals and provided nine assists in 80 appearances, including 19 league goals in their Turkish Super Lig triumph last season, while he has now scored 20 goals in 42 games for his country.
