Dele Alli unveiled by Besiktas and is already hero among fans as Everton outcast prepares to seal loan transfer

DELE ALLI has been given a hero's welcome in Turkey after arriving at Besiktas to seal a season-long loan move.

The attacking midfielder, 26, is looking to resurrect his career after a disastrous few months at Everton.

He made just 13 appearances without scoring for the Toffees and is looking to get back to form playing for Turkish giants Besiktas.

And if he impresses for the Black Eagles the club could make his stay permanent for £6million.

Alli got off to a dream start as soon as he landed in Instanbul as a huge crowd gathered at Ataturk Airport to catch a glimpse of their new signing.

The former England international still needs to complete a medical to finalise the move but he has been received with open arms by Besiktas fans.

Alli was presented to the crowd wearing a Besiktas scarf and was handed a huge bouquet of flowers as a hype man warmed up the crowd.

Next it was Alli's turn to orchestrate the crowd's chanting - with fans raising and lowering the volume of their support according to Alli's instruction.

Alli's medical will take place on Thursday and he should be able to make his debut against Sivasspor on Monday if he is registered in time.

The former Tottenham star arrives with Besiktas well in the mix for a title challenge as Valérien Ismaël's side have seven points from three games, the joint-highest total in the league.

Meanwhile, Everton also look set to lose Anthony Gordon after he told the club he wants to leave amid interest from Chelsea.

The Blues are reportedly prepared to up their offer to £60m to sign the England under-21 international after seeing two bids knocked back last week.
