Beşiktaş complete goalkeeper swap

Goalkeeper Hakan Arıkan has joined Turkish UEFA Champions League hopefuls Beşiktaş JK from Ankaraspor AS with Ramazan Kurşunlu moving in the opposite direction.

Part exchange
The 24-year-old has agreed a three-year contract with the Istanbul side, who will play in the second qualifying round of next season's UEFA Champions League after finishing as runners-up to Fenerbahçe SK in the Süper Lig. Currently on duty with the national team, Hakan played in 27 of Ankaraspor's 34 league games this season, confining Serbian international Dragoslav Jevrić and Ghanian Richard Kingson to the bench. Beşiktaş have paid Ankaraspor €700,000 for Hakan as well as giving them goalkeeper Ramazan, who has been with the club on loan since the second game of the 2006/07 season.
