Arsenal weigh up move for former midfielder

 

Arsenal are considering making a move for former academy player Oguzhan Ozyakup, according to Turkish publication AMK.

 

Arsene Wenger’s side sold Ozyakup to Besiktas in 2012 for £350,000 but his performances have caught the eye of his former employers.

 

According to AMK, reports Arsenal sent scouts to watch the midfielder score the winner in Besiktas’ 1-0 win over Bursaspor on Sunday and will have to fork out in excess of £8m to lure him back to north London.
