Hull City striker Dame N’Doye has been linked with West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Norwich City and Besiktas.

Besiktas are interested in signing Dame N’Doye from Hull City this summer, according to ESPN.

It has been reported that the Turkish club are looking for a new striker following the departure of Demba Ba to Chinese outfit Shanghai Shenhua last month.

Among the strikers on Besiktas’s radar is N’Doye, who moved to Hull from Lokomotiv Moscow in the January transfer window and has a contract with the Tigers until June 2017, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

Good move for Dame N’Doye?

Hull will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2014-15 campaign.

N’Doye was one of the Tigers’ better players during the second half of last season, scoring five goals and creating 12 chances in 15 Premier League appearances.

The Senegal international striker had a pass accuracy of 77% and a shot accuracy of 49%, and won 15 headers, 11 dribbles and nine tackles.

Besiktas are one of the biggest clubs of Turkey, and leaving Hull for the Istanbul-based outfit is certainly going to be a step up for N’Doye.

The Black Eagles finished third in the Turkish Super Lig last season and will feature in the group stage of the Europa League during the 2015-16 campaign.

Other interested clubs

According to a report in The Sun last month, Premier League trio West Bromwich Albion, Norwich City and West Ham United are all interested in signing N’Doye this summer.

Back in May, The Chronicle claimed that the 30-year-old Hull striker is keen on moving to Newcastle United.
