Birmingham City are interested in signing former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Besiktas are understood to be ready to let the 32-year-old leave on a free, despite having a year remaining on his contract.
Sky Sports News understands Birmingham are keen to utilise his experience in English football, as they look to achieve back-to-back promotions and reach the Premier League.
Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has 35 England caps, joined Besiktas from Liverpool two summers ago.
He has gone on to make 44 appearances for the Turkish side across all competitions, scoring five goals and adding one assist.
Birmingham have taken four points from their first two Championship games, having won the League One title last season.
