EP can confirm that Rizespor centre back Beshir El Tabei is currently the main target of Besiktas who sent their scout Zeki Onatli to watch the player in yesterday's game.




The current coach of Besiktas Riza Calimbay was the former coach for Beshir at Rizespor and he is a keen admirer of the Egyptian defender abilities. Calimbay wanted to sign the player in January but Besiktas had many foreign players in the squad. So, the transfer deal fell through.

However, it seems that Besiktas interest in the solid defender is continuing as Calimbay decided to send his scout Zeki Onatli to Egypt in order to follow Beshir from the stands. Onatli will also watch other talents from the Egyptian national team and bring a detailed report to his head coach.


Beshir himself is aware of the interest from the leading Turkish side as he revealed that scouts from big named Turkish club are currently keeping an eye on him and came to Egypt in order to have a closer look on his performance.

It should be mentioned that Beshir's Rizespor are currently 5th in the table and they dream of European qualification next season. A goal they couldn't reach in the past ten years but it appears to be possible in the current season.

More on Beshir and Egyptians in Turkey soon..
