English attacking midfielder Dele Alli has joined Besiktas for one season on loan from Everton, the Turkish club announced on Thursday.

The loan includes an option to buy, Besiktas said in a statement.

Twice an English Young Player of the Year when he was at Tottenham for whom he made 181 appearances, Dele, now 26, has struggled in recent seasons.

He was a starter on the England team that reached the World Cup semifinal in 2018 but won the last of his 37 caps in 2019.

He joined Everton in January but has failed to become a first-team regular.

Besiktas, coached since March by Frenchman Valerien Ismael, finished sixth in the Turkish Super Lig last season, after winning a league and cup double the year before.
