NATHAN REDMOND is set to follow Dele Alli and join the Premier League influx at Turkish club Besiktas.
Southampton have made it clear they will let the winger leave and have allowed the 28-year-old to travel to Turkey ahead of a £4million move.
The one-cap England international has fallen out of favour at St. Mary’s over the summer and almost joined Bournemouth on deadline day.
However, as the Cherries had already signed Jack Stephens on loan from Southampton they would have had to commit to a fee.
Fenerbache also made an offer to sign Redmond but Besiktas look set to win the race ahead of their transfer window closing on Thursday.
The Super Lig club have already signed Alli on loan from Everton with the former Tottenham man scoring his first goal on his second appearance on Sunday.

As well as signing Alli, Besiktas have also added Wout Weghorst from Burnley and Arthur Masuaku from West Ham.
Redmond joined the Saints from Norwich City in 2016.
And he has been a key figure under several managers, netting 30 goals in 232 appearances.
He scored the winning goal in Southampton’s first-leg League Cup semi-final win over Liverpool on their way to the Wembley final.
