Özyakup said: “I do want to playing the Premier League again someday.”

The young midfielder is of course no stranger to Premier League football having joined Beşiktaş from Arsenal in 2012 for a fee of €500,000. The Turkish international star was part of the Gunners Under-18s side that won the Premier Academy League title in 2009.

Özyakup has been one of the most in-form players for Beşiktaş this seasons scoring five goals and providing six assists in all competitions for the Black Eagles this season and another two-years remaining on his current contract.
