What happened. Ernest Poku has joined Turkish club Beşiktaş on loan from Bayer Leverkusen for the 2026/27 season, with a possible permanent transfer if conditions are met.
- Poku scored five goals and provided five assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances last season.
- He didn't start any of Leverkusen's final eight league games.
- He is the 12th departure from Leverkusen this summer.
“Ernest Poku has made a name for himself in Germany and across Europe as a fast attacker.”
