Leeds United left-back Junior Firpo, currently sidelined with a month-long injury, has reportedly caught the attention of Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas.
According to Turkish outlet Fotospor, Besiktas have been closely monitoring Firpo’s performances this season, even amidst the defender’s recent suspension for an altercation with Millwall’s Danny McNamara.
Transfer Complications
While Besiktas scouts have reportedly been impressed by Firpo’s technical abilities, concerns linger over his disciplinary record, which might deter sponsors from supporting a potential deal. Firpo’s three-match ban for his confrontation with McNamara is cited as a particular sticking point.
Despite these issues, the Turkish club appears keen on strengthening its defensive options, potentially making Firpo a target as the January window approaches.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has expressed a desire for a quiet January transfer window.

Additionally, injuries and squad depth concerns make retaining players like Firpo critical for Leeds’ aspirations.
