Arsenal keen to sign former player, €50m target fed up at Spain

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger could be lining up a surprise move for the former Arsenal midfielder, Oguzhan Ozyakup.

Ozyakup left Arsenal in 2012 and has improved massively at Besiktas. The dynamic midfielder has been a target for several European clubs after his splendid displays in the Turkish league.

Wenger is thought to be keen on the player and is ready to sanction a transfer according to a Turkish football magazine.

Ozyakup made just one appearance for Arsenal, before joining Besiktas, three seasons ago.

The 23 year old is a much improved player now and could relish the chance to return to Arsenal and prove his doubters wrong.
