Arsenal want Besiktas star Oguzhan Ozyakup back at the Emirates after letting him go as a kid... but could snag the midfielder on a free transfer

Arsenal have offered Oguzhan Ozyakup a contract to rejoin the club, six years after letting him leave the club as a teenager.

The Besiktas captain joined the north London side's youth team in 2008 but failed to make an impact during the four years he was in the club's ranks.

The Gunners sold him to the Super Lig giants in 2012 for approximately £500,000 where he has gone on to become the captain of the Turkish side at the age of 25.
