Leicester City midfielder Gokhan Inler joins Besiktas on three-year deal

Leicester City midfielder Gokhan Inler has left the Premier League champions to join Besiktas on the final day of the transfer window.

The Switzerland international has signed a three-year deal with the Turkish giants, 12 months after joining the Foxes from Napoli.

Inler struggled for first-team action under manager Claudio Ranieri during the club's historic title-winning campaign as he made just 10 appearances last season.

The midfielder now ends his spell with Leicester, who said in a statement: "The Swiss was a popular and hard working member of the squad and the club would like to place on record its thanks for his contribution as well as wishing him the very best for the future."

Earlier today, the Foxes completed the club-record £30m signing of striker Islam Slimani from Sporting Lisbon.
