Istanbul club Besiktas announced the signing of Chilean defensive midfielder Gary Medel on Friday.

The club shared a now famous video titled "Come to Besiktas" on its Twitter account to announce the signing of the player from Serie A club Inter Milan.

Inter Milan and Besiktas have agreed on a €3 million ($3.5 million) transfer fee, according to local media reports.

Defending champions Besiktas are again one of the favorites to win the Turkish Super Lig this year, the club having strengthened the squad with new signings such as Pepe from Real Madrid and Alvaro Negredo from Valencia.

The Black Eagles also recently signed Dutch winger Jeremain Lens. Lens played for Fenerbahce last season, on a loan from English Premier League side Sunderland.
