Besiktas have appeared to confirm the imminent arrival of Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius on loan.

The Turkish Super Lig side installed a graphic on their Twitter page of the German in a Besiktas shirt with the words "Loris Karius #CometoBesiktas".

The graphic was subsequently removed but hinted talks have progressed well over the prospective two-year loan deal that Sky Sports News reported was under discussion earlier this week.

Besiktas are in need of a new goalkeeper after selling Fabri to Fulham and Sky sources understand they are hopeful of a two-year loan costing £1.25m per year plus an extra fee of £1.79m at the deal's conclusion.
