Report: Arsenal plot Oguzhan Ozyakup return

Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup has emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal, according to reports.

The 23-year-old spent four years with the Gunners between 2008 and 2012, but only made a single appearance for Arsene Wenger's side.

Ozyakup, who has 12 caps for Turkey, left Arsenal for Besiktas, but his form for Senol Gunes's side has caught the eye of Wenger, who is considering bringing him back to the Emirates, reports Turkish-Football, as quoted by the Metro.

However, Wenger will face competition for his signature from Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Newcastle United, the report adds.

Ozyakup, who has made over 80 Super Lig appearances for Beisktas, is reported to be valued at around £15m.
