Amartey won the Premier League with Leicester in 2016 but is now on the books at Besiktas. It has been widely reported that the defender, who has denied the allegations, evaded several meetings and snubbed a number of offers throughout the summer, per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13830383/Ex-Premier-League-winner-accused-avoid-transfer-England.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Besiktas spokesperson Huseyin Yucel suggested that the player would occasionally attempt to "escape" the training ground as he aimed to avoid negotiations, while he has revealed that there was an agreement with a Saudi Arabian club over a transfer, but he claims that Amartey did not even board the plane.Seemingly, Amartey did not understand the mechanics of the transfer window, and was confused as to how it would "close" after the deadline had passed, as he hoped to complete a return to England.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Yucel said: "Amartey is a strange person. We made an agreement with a team from Saudi Arabia, but he did not get on the plane. We agreed [a deal] with Eyupspor, but he escaped through the back door of our facilities."He said: 'I will go to Germany or England'. When he was told the transfer window is closed, he said: 'How will it close?'"

WHAT BESIKTAS SAID

Amartey will have to wait until January if he is to complete a transfer. Judging by Besiktas' claims, he may not want to.
