Fulham signed experience left winger Ryan Babel from Beşiktaş in this transfer window. Babel had only 6 months contract left. Player was expected to leave for a long time.

Babel came from Deportivo La Coruna to Beşiktaş for free in 2017. This season he scored 4 goals in 12 matches. He scored 29 goals in 89 matches total for Beşiktaş. His best performance was last year's Champions League games.

Beşiktaş will get 2 million Euro for this transfer. It's quite profitable when you think about Babel's remaining time on Beşiktaş. He could've gone for free at the end of the season.

Babel's performance was very bad this year. He was in a lot of controversies on and off the pitch. Fans don't love him anymore, this is a good decision for both parts. Beşiktaş couldn't get the maximum from him, unlike last year. He played way different than last year and couldn't meet expectations.

Now Beşiktaş need to find another winger because on rotation there are only Ricardo Quaresma and Jeremain Lens now. Beşiktaş need a guy who can score and make assists. Beşiktaş have problems in finishing this season.

Fulham previously signed goalkeeper Fabri from Beşiktaş. You can see my post here.
