Nigeria international Michael Eneramo has rubbished reports in the local media that claimed he underwent heart surgery on Saturday at Acibadem Hospital.

The 27 - year - old attacker had meniscectomy surgery, a surgical procedure to remove torn cartilage in the knee, on Saturday, and is expected to be out of action for between 4- 5 weeks if his rehabilitation goes according to plan.

BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji said on Twitter : ''Nigeria striker Mike Eneramo denies surgery report. New Besiktas signing told me : ''Had a meniscus surgery and not heart surgery as reported.''

It is believed that Besiktas have reached an agreement in principle with Michael Eneramo, but a formal announcement can not be made until the Medical Department of the Turkish Federation give its approval .

The former Esperance golden boy has netted 29 goals in 79 matches since his arrival in Turkey in the winter of 2011.
