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