Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup continues to be linked with a summer exit as his contract approaches an end.

Ozyakup will be a free agent at the end of the season but has yet to sign an extension.

The Turkey international is currently permitted to hold direct talks with clubs other than Besiktas over his future beyond the end of the season.

The latest side to enter the race for Ozyakup is Valencia according to the Sabah newspaper.

Per the source, the La Liga outfit have begun efforts to strengthen the squad as their chances of securing a Champions League spot next season have become very likely.

Valencia are currently 4th in the league table, 12 points ahead of 5th placed Villarreal.

Los Che may face competition from the Premier League.

Turkish-Football have reported that Everton are interested in Ozyakup after scouting him several times this season.

Ozyakup is not currently a priority for the Toffees but an enquiry has been made.

The 24-year-old is available as a free transfer and is the former teammate of Everton striker Cenk Tosun.

Ozyakup has made no secret of the fact he wants to return to the Premier League after leaving Arsenal five-years ago for Besiktas.

The Turkey international has been involved in 75 goals since leaving the Gunners and has lifted the league title for the past two seasons.
