Nice midfielder Alexis Beka Beka in talks with Beşiktaş | OneFootball

Having returned to France last summer after a short spell with Lokomotiv Moscow, Alexis Beka Beka has struggled to make a significant impact at Nice this season, with his playing time limited to just 14 appearances in Ligue 1 this season.

According to Le Parisien, the French youth international and Nice are in talks with Beşiktaş, with a potential loan move lined up for the 22-year-old. The Turkish side, who finished third in the Süper Lig last year, are not the only club to be interested, although negotiations with the Ligue 1 side are said to be moving in a positive direction. Should he complete a move to Istanbul, the Frenchman will once again be playing in the Conference League.

The former Caen midfielder’s sole goal for Les Aiglons was a crucial one, a shot from range into the top corner which secured the win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Conference League playoffs at the start of the season – however, he mostly found himself benched for the rest of the campaign.
