Robin van Persie, Oguzhan Ozyakup still refuse to speak to one another

Former Arsenal teammates Robin van Persie and Oguzhan Ozyakup still do not speak to each other following last year's dispute.

Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup has revealed that he and former Arsenal teammate Robin van Persie still do not speak following their falling-out last year.

The 25-year-old got into a scuffle with the Fenerbahce forward during the Turkish Cup quarter-final in the 2016-17 campaign.

Van Persie, who goaded his rival after scoring in the 1-0 triumph, played alongside Ozyakup at Arsenal between 2008 and 2012.

When asked by Socrates magazine about the duo's relationship, the Besiktas player said: "We still do not talk, usually players make up after games but this was different.

"Maybe we will make up one day but it will not be the same as before. I do not really want to talk about this to be honest. I do not think I was in the wrong, if anything I was wrong to show Robin as much respect as I did."

Meanwhile, Van Persie was recently forced to deny claims that his career is under threat due to injury.
