DELE ALLI has reportedly agreed to join Besiktas on a season-long loan from Everton.
The midfielder, 26, has decided to leave Goodison Park just eight months after joining The Toffees.
He signed for Everton in January with the hope of reigniting his career after falling out-of-favour at Tottenham.
However, he failed to find his feet in Merseyside and made little impact in 13 appearances for Frank Lampard’s side.
Alli has now been granted another opportunity to get his playing career back on track.
According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, he has decided to join Besiktas on a season-long loan.

There is a £6million buy option within the contract so Besiktas could choose to sign him on a permanent deal if the loan spell is a success.
The midfielder is claimed to be very keen on the prospect of a move as he wants revive the kind of form that saw him crowned PFA Young Player of the Year twice.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Lampard had prepared to use Alli to fill in for the injured Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a striker.
But, club officials are now on the hunt for an out-and-out attacker instead, leaving little room for the former Tottenham ace in the squad.
