Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Oguzhan Ozyakup from Besiktas in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Oguzhan Ozyakup from Besiktas in the summer transfer window, according to The Express.
It has been reported that Tottenham are considering a move for the Turkey international midfielder in the summer.
Arsenal, AS Roma and Sevilla are also claimed to be interested in securing the services of Ozyakup.
The 24-year-old midfielder was on the books of the Gunners from 2008 until 2012, but he failed to make a single appearance in the Premier League for Arsene Wenger’s side and joined Besiktas.
According to The Express, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan of Ozyakup and believes that he would add depth to his squad.
“An offer in the region of £12million should be sufficient as Besiktas paid only £300,000 to take Ozyakup from Arsenal five years ago,” adds the report in The Express.
Ozyakup has been in good form for Besiktas so far this season. The midfielder has scored three goals and provided three assists in 20 Super Lig appearances so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.com.
Besiktas are at the top of the Super Lig table at the moment with 55 points from 25 matches, just two points clear of second-placed Istanbul Basaksehir, who have played a game more.
