Besiktas have told prospective clubs that they will only allow striker Cenk Tosun to leave the club if a bid of €20million or more is offered.

Speaking to Turkish publication Fotospor, a Besiktas executive revealed a decision has been made by the board about the Turkish international’s future at the club:

“We need Cenk for next season, but if we have to sell him we will set the figure at 20 million euros… otherwise we will be happy.”

Fotospor reports that five clubs are looking to sign the 25 year old. West Ham, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Tottenham and Valencia are believed to be the teams who are looking at the player.

The German born striker has had the most productive season of his career during his third year in Istanbul. In 37 matches in all competitions this campaign, Tosun has scored 20 goals.

He is able to play in wide areas, but he is ostensibly a centre forward. The Turkish star will be well known to West Ham manager Slaven Bilic, who bought him from Gaziantepspor when he was Besiktas boss back in 2014.
