Besiktas reach agreement with Eto'o over transfer

Turkish outfit Besiktas have agreed a deal in principle to sign Samuel Eto'o, according to Goal. 

Besiktas are looking to sign a new striker after Mario Gomez, who scored 26 Super Lig goals last season while on loan from Fiorentina, opted against extending his stay at the Vodafone Arena. 

The Turkish giants have since turned their attention to Eto'o and are now trying to thrash out a deal with the striker's current club Antalyaspor after reaching an agreement with the player. 

Eto'o scored 20 goals in 31 league games for Antalyaspor in 2015-16, a tally bettered only by Gomez.
