Fulham flop Fabri set to make sensational return to Turkish giants Besiktas
Veteran goalkeeper has made just two appearances this season and is now third choice at Craven Cottage
FULHAM flop Fabri is reportedly closing in on a return to Besiktas.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper moved to Craven Cottage on a three-year deal last summer, having spent the previous two in Turkey.
But despite starting at Fulham’s first-choice between the sticks, Fabri quickly lost his place to Marcus Bettinelli after just two games.
He is yet to feature since, with Sergio Rico now taking over as the club’s No 1.
And Turkish newspaper Milliyet claims Besiktas have opened talks with Fulham over a deal to bring Fabri back to Istanbul.
Whether the veteran would see any regular action at his old stomping ground remains to be seen, though.

Besiktas signed Loris Karius from Liverpool on a two-year loan deal following Fabri’s departure six months ago.
And the German has been a hit in his new surroundings, with other reports claiming it could be made permanent soon.
Meanwhile, SunSport understands that Fulham are set to sign Chelsea captain Gary Cahill to boost their survival bid.
The centre-back is out of favour at Stamford Bridge and has entered the final six months of his contract.
