Arsenal receive transfer boost as star playmaker interested in Gunners return

Besiktas star playmaker Oguzhan Ozyakup has been linked with a move back to his former club Arsenal over the past week.

The young midfielder moved to the north London based club early on in his career where he won the Premier Academy League of 2008–09 and 2009–10.

Ozyakup went onto join Besiktas for just £400,000 back in June 2014 and has gone onto lift two Turkish League titles as well as star in the UEFA Champions League.

However, the 25-year-old may have his mind set on a north London return.

According to the daily Turkish paper Aksam, Ozyakup is ‘seriously considering’ a move back to Arsenal in the summer.

Ozyakup has entered the final four months of his contract and could end up leaving Besiktas for free in the summer.

The 25-year-old has racked up an impressive 27 goals and 48 assists for the Black Eagles in 208 appearances since joining the club.

Ozyakup is expected to feature when Besiktas take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League later this month.
