Former Arsenal star talks possible January return after move to Turkey

Oguzhan Ozyakup was sold by Arsenal for just £500k

BESIKTAS midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup has ruled out a return to Arsenal in the January transfer window.

 

The 23-year-old was at the Emirates from 2008 to 2012 but made just two senior appearances before being shipped out for just £500,000.

But since then the midfielder has carved out a strong career at Besiktas, making 89 league appearances for the club and being capped by Turkey 12 times.

 

And this lead to reports suggesting the Gunners were again interested in him and were looking to bring him back to north London in January.

Turkish newspaper AMK claim Arsene Wenger sent scouts to oversee the game in Bursa, alongside Inter Milan representatives.

However, Ozyakup has now ended any talk of him returning to the Premier League in January, stating he wants to focus on winning the league with Besiktas.

"There are a lot of rumours but I am not interested," he said.

 

"My only goal is to win the league with Besiktas this season."

Ozyakup has scored three times and has made five assists in 10 Super Lig appearances this season.
