BESIKTAS are lining up a second deal for Burnley striker Wout Weghorst at the end of his surprise loan spell with Manchester United.

When asked if Weghorst was potentially part of his long-term plans, the Red Devils boss said: “Of course.
“I think he is doing a lot of elements of football really well.
“Wout is doing a really good job for us.”

The Clarets also plan to check on Rangers contract rebel Ryan Kent.
The ex-Liverpool academy winger, 26, would have to fight for a spot in a side just promoted back to the Prem as Burnley already have Moroccan magician Anass Zaroury, 22, in his position.
But Kent is a top free agent and the chance to play at the top level in England would appeal to him after missing out on a move to Leeds a couple of times.
