Besiktas have taken a step closer to signing Martin Linnes, after agreeing upon a transfer fee with the Norwegian club Molde.

The Black Eagles have struck a €2.5 million deal with Molde for Linnes and will begin talks with the 23-year-old.

Linnes is expected to sign for Besiktas in January.

The Black Eagles have played much of the season without a right-back due to injuries and a lack of depth.

Midfielders Necip Uysal and Atiba Hutchinson have had to fill in as make shift right-backs from time to time this season.

Beşiktaş have also been linked with Dinamo Zagreb’s Ivo Pinto, Cruzeiro’s Mayke and Udinese’s Cameroon international Nyom.

Linnes has provided seven assists and scored five goals in 38 games in 2014.
