Due of top level performance which has shown in previous 10 years, Atiba Hutchinson without doubt has become legend of the team and become beloved player both to Besiktas supporters and other club fans. It needs to be mentioned there were questions at the club if there needs to be extension of contract with him due of his age but since he continues showing top level performance and even being better than youngsters has led him to show top game. Without doubt, he would continue to show high level performance in upcoming season.

Atiba Hutchinson has been associated with Besiktas in last 10 years and hence it would be logical for him to end his career in this side. 

Kasimpasa has signed Raoul Petretta.

Kasimpasa continues to be effective at the transfer front as it has signed Raoul Petretta as it aims to show top level game in upcoming season and fight for European spot.

Even through Petretta is not well known player across Europe, he does have high potential and is being player which is being suitable for Kasimpasa and push forward with its performance. Being strong midfielding player, he would be able to start lots of potential attacks and rise number of attacks which would side and hence gain points which it seeks for.

Trezeguet will have transfer talks with Trabzonspor.

Trezeguet has arrived to Istanbul to have one-on-one transfer negotiations with Trabzonspor as player could become strong addition to the champions for upcoming season.

It needs to be mentioned that so far during this transfer window, it needs to be mentioned that Trabzonspor has made transfers which are being without doubt strong enough for domestic league but still has some absences for Champions League. To some extend, this is being case with Trezeguet who does have great experience with Super League but not so much with European football, but this being an important addition which for sure would help side to fight for getting back-to-back title domestically.

Trezeguet hence is being an important addition to Trabzonspor but it needs to focus more to players with European experience.
