Besiktas sit four in the Turkish top-flight under the guidance of former Benfica and Portugal boss Fernando Santos. The previous stance of Lascelles' representatives was that the centre-back wanted to stay on Tyneside. And that came after Lascelles made just 11 appearances last season and missed out on playing in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United at Wembley. However, as Newcastle talk openly about trading and the "player churn", with Eales stating every player has a price in the world of PSR, the Lascelles situation is one to watch.
