Exclusive: Tottenham considering swoop for Besiktas ace with Arsenal links
TOTTENHAM are considering a summer swoop for Besiktas’ ex-Arsenal starlet Oguzhan Ozyakup.
Oguzhan Ozyakup is on Tottenham's radar
The Turkish ace, 24, has been in superb form for both club and country this season.
That has caught the attention of a number of top European clubs, including the Gunners, Roma and Sevilla.
Oguzhan Ozyakup came through the ranks at Arsenal
And now Tottenham are set to join the race for Ozyakup – a key figure in Besiktas reaching this season’s Europa League quarter-finals.
White Hart Lane boss Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan and believes the midfielder would add greater 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.
