Schalke says it has sent Brazilian striker Edu to Turkish club Besiktas on a one-season loan.

Schalke confirmed the deal on Thursday, the day after the summer transfer window closed.

Edu's contract with the Bundesliga club runs through June 2013. He has scored five goals in 42 league games for Schalke, but has played only once this season.
