Man United news: Everton & 14 other clubs to scout £21m ace from the Arsenal Class of 92
Besiktas are expecting 15 clubs in addition to Manchester United and Arsenal to scout star midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup.
Turkish-Football reported yesterday that United will continue keeping tabs on Ozyakup heading into the Europa League quarter-final clash between Besiktas and Lyon.
Reports from Turkey have claimed that there will be 15 additional club scouts at the Vodafone Arena.
Atletico Madrid, Inter, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke 04, Hannover, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Aston Villa, Everton, Southampton, West Ham, PSV, Twente and Anderlecht are expected to keep tabs on the Turkish international.
Turkish-Football have received confirmation from Besiktas that scouts from the clubs mentioned will be present.
Ozyakup has attracted widespread interest from across Europe following his rise from an Arsenal youth player to star man at Besiktas.
The Netherlands born midfielder was a part of the Arsenal Class of 92 and won the Youth FA Cup in 2008 along with Jack Wilshere and Francis Coquelin.
The latest club to be linked with Ozyakup is Atletico Madrid who are prepared to pay €15 million [£13m] for his services according to the AMK sports newspaper.
Besiktas value Ozyakup as being worth €25 million [£21m] and want to keep him on next season.
The Black Eagles could however, be forced into selling Ozyakup if he does not sign a contract extension at the end of the season.
Ozyakup will have 12 months remaining on his contract at the end of the current campaign.
The 24-year-old played an integral role in Besiktas winning the league title last season.
Besiktas are favourites to defend the title and are currently first in the Turkish league.
Ozyakup started in the 2-1 defeat against Lyon in France last Thursday. The central midfielder is almost certain to start in the return-leg in Istanbul tomorrow.
