Former Leeds United left-back Ezgjan Alioski has reportedly been offered to Turkish giants Besiktas as he bids to find a new club.
Alioski left Leeds last summer on a free, moving instead to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli. However, Al-Ahli were relegated at the end of the season, leading Alioski to leave the club for free this summer. He is now searching for a new club.
Turkish daily Takvim report Alioski is keen on a return to Europe, with his agents having touched base with Besiktas.

While Al-Ahli were relegated last season, Alioski more than played his part in trying to keep them up. The 30-year-old made 30 appearances last term, scoring six goals and providing nine assists.
It has been suggested by plenty of Leeds fans that the Whites and Alioski should reunite. Junior Firpo's injury has left Leeds without a recognised left-back in their first team squad. It's a position Jesse Marsch has publicly confirmed the club are looking to strengthen.
However, no concrete interest from Leeds for an Alioski return has emerged. While Leeds did offer the Macedonian a contract to stay at Elland Road last summer, Alioski ultimately turned it down. At 30, Leeds would much rather find a younger option at left-back who can compete with Firpo for a starting first team berth.
