Ricardo Quaresma Pulls Off The Filthiest Touch Of The Season And We Can't Stop Watching It

Ricardo Quaresma is the definition of a footballer who never quite lived up to expectations after promising so much.

Don't get me wrong, the ultra-talented winger has shown glimpses of brilliance in the past during spells at Barcelona, FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Sporting.

But his most consistent spell has come at current side Besiktas - a team that are currently under-performing in sixth place in the Turkish Super Lig.

The 34-year-old has made 23 appearances for the Turkish side this season, producing moments of magic such as this ridiculous touch against Osmanlispor this weekend.

This has to be a contender for touch of the season. The sheer audacity to pull this off:

Here's another angle of the magnificence of Ricardo Quaresma:

Despite a host of relatively big names appearing for Besiktas this season, they have struggled in recent months. Pepe joined the Süper Lig side from Real Madrid on a three year deal, while Alvaro Negredo swapped England for Turkey.

Back in July, according to Spanish outlet AS, Besiktas were confident of loaning Diego Costa for six months.

By the time his stint there is done, he would be free to return to Atletico Madrid as the club's transfer ban, enforced due to the illegal tapping up of young players, will have expired by then.

What a bloody touch from Quaresma, though.
