Papy Djilobodji could be set to leave Chelsea without having played a single Premier League game for the club.

The 26-year-old was a surprise signing for the English champions before the transfer window slammed shut in the summer, but despite Chelsea's defensive problems, boss Jose Mourinho has not turned to the Senegal international.




Now Djilobodji is, according to Turkish TV programme Beyaz Futbol, cited by French outlet Top Mercato, on Besiktas' wanted list.

The Turkish Super Lig side are weighing up making a bid to sign Djilobodji in January, well aware he has slipped out of the picture at Chelsea, just months after signing from Nantes.
 


Djilobodji put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2019.

But he was instantly left off the club's squad list for this season's Champions League, in a sign of his place in the pecking order.

And the former Nantes man has struggled to make an impression on Mourinho.

Time may now be running out for Djilobodji to win over the Portuguese.
