Dele Alli Booed Off In 29th Minute Before Three Other Former EPL Players Save Besiktas During Turkish Cup Game

Dele Alli was booed by Besiktas fans as he was subbed off on 29 minutes in the Turkish Cup. Three other ex-EPL players saved Besiktas from an embarrassing loss.

Dele Alli had been hoping that a move to Besiktas would help him reboot his stuttering career but it has not yet gone to plan.

Besiktas currently sit eighth in the Turkish Super Lig and they came close to exiting the Turkish Cup at the hands of third-tier side Sanliurfaspor on Wednesday.

Dele started Wednesday's game against Sanliurfaspor but was subbed off in the 29th minute with Besiktas 2-0 down.

The 26-year-old has not completed a full 90-minute match since his Besiktas debut in August.

But those fans were celebrating at full-time after three other former Premier League players helped them turn the game around to beat Sanliurfaspor 4-2.

Ex-Everton striker Cenk Tosun netted in the 67th and 70th minutes to level the contest.

Former Tottenham winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou then completed the turnaround on 73 minutes before Wout Weghorst, who played in the EPL for Burnley last season, scored the final goal of the game.

Dele is on loan at Besiktas from Everton. It is understood that Besiktas have an option to buy him for £6 million before January 1, or for £8m after that until June.

If Besiktas decide against signing Dele permanently then he will return to Everton in the summer. His contract with Everton is due to expire in June 2024.
