The 20-year-old winger has been playing for the Turkish top club this season, but has now been called up for Jong Oranje duty. Poku has been open about missing his friends and family since moving to Turkey. "I get to visit my family for one or two days after international duty, but then we go back to Turkey," he explained in an interview with VoetbalPrimeur. "I miss my friends and family the most."
Poku's return to the Netherlands marks his first time back in the country since his transfer to Besiktas. The young winger has settled well into his new surroundings, but it's clear that he still has a strong connection to his homeland. As he continues to play for Besiktas, Poku will have to balance his time between Turkey and the Netherlands.
Poku's loan deal with Besiktas is set to continue for the remainder of the season.
