Arsenal have tabled a big-money offer for their former star midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup in a bid to lure him back to the Emirates.
The Turkey international has been closely linked with a move away from Besiktas after failing to put pen-to-paper on a new contract. The Istanbul giants could end up losing Ozyakup for free this summer.
According to a source close to the Istanbul giants, the Gunners have tabled a lucrative contract for Ozyakup.
