Rangers star Glen Kamara emerges as Dele Alli transfer alternative for Besiktas as race for Ibrox midfielder hots up
RANGERS star Glen Kamara has emerged as a potential transfer target for Besiktas, according to a report.
The Turkish giants have been pursuing a deal for Everton star Dele Alli, but are beginning to look at alternatives should that move fail to materialise.
According to fotospor, Gers ace Kamara is among the players under consideration by Besiktas.
The outlet is also reporting that Roma's Croatian international Ante Coric is another star they're keeping tabs on as they look to make sure they have a plan B should the move for Alli fail.
It isn't the first time Kamara has been linked with a switch to the Super Lig, having previously been mooted as a potential target for Galatasaray earlier in the transfer window.
Rangers have already dealt with Besiktas this transfer window, bringing in left back Ridvan Yilmaz in from the club.

It appears the 26-year old could be a man in demand, with reports from France emerging over the weekend linking him with a move to Nice.
That would see him link up with ex-Ibrox loanee Aaron Ramsey who made a permanent move to Ligue 1 this summer.
Kamara still has three years left to run on his Rangers deal.
The 26-year old put pen to paper on a new contract at the end of last year, taking him up to 2025.
