Article body
Summer switch
Jun has failed to score in 16 Superleague appearances - including 12 as a substitute - since arriving in Turkey last summer in a €3.5m move from AC Sparta Praha. Last term, by contrast, he led the Czech scoring charts with 14 goals in 26 starts for Sparta.
Necessary reinforcement
A player who has won European titles at Under-17 and U21 levels, he replaces forwards Souleymane Youla and Ailton, whom Beşiktaş have loaned to FC Metz and Hamburger SV respectively. Out of the UEFA Cup, Beşiktaş lie fourth in the Superleague, five places above Trabzonspor.
