Istanbul Basaksehir 'would do anything' to sign Ozil

Mesut Ozil has been linked with Inter and Real Madrid recently but Turkish side could offer an alternative

Turkish Super Lig club Istanbul Basaksehir are keen on an audacious swoop for Arsenal star Mesut Ozil.

Former Germany international Ozil has struggled for form and fitness at Emirates Stadium this season and was left out of the match-day 18 for the 2-0 midweek defeat to rivals Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

Inter and Real Madrid are among the clubs to have been linked with Ozil, who is of Turkish descent, but Basaksehir president Goksel Gumusdag has offered him an alternative.
