The Dane has failed to establish himself as a starter at the Riverside.

Reports in Turkey are suggesting that Besiktas are hopeful of bringing Viktor Fischer to Turkey in January – despite the fact he only joined Middlesbrough in the summer.

It is reported by Fotomac that Besiktas manager Senol Gunes has highlighted Fischer as a potential signing to help strengthen their left-wing position – although the suggestion is a loan deal is the most likely form of departure for the player.

It would be a surprising decision from Middlesbrough to sell the forward. He only arrived from Ajax in the summer for a fee reported by Gazette Live to be in the region of £3.8 million.

Once labelled the ‘Danish Messi’ his career stalled in recent times at Ajax and this summer Middlesbrough swooped in to snap him up.

However, he has struggled to have an impact at the Riverside Stadium.

He has currently only featured in seven games for Boro this season and has started just twice in the Premier League.
