Ozzy unlikely to join West Ham this summer

|

OzzzyOğuzhan Özyakup has enjoyed his best season at  to date in his young career at Besiktas. The 23 year old Turkish international was instrumental in Şenol Güneş’ side that conquered the 2015-2016 Süper lig title. With 9 goals and 7 assists to his name as a playmaker, Oğuzhan managed to impress friend and foe and attracted the interest of several clubs, including but not limited  to Inter Milan, Chelsea as  well as former coach Slaven Bilic.

Despite the plethora of interest Kaan Bayazit of  www.besiktas-international.com says that Ozzy,  as he is known in Turkey is not keen on an exit this Summer and instead wants to remain at least one more season with the Black Eagles to win another title and get some Champions League experience under his belt.

The 23-year-old played for Arsenal’s youth set-up between 2008 and 2012 but never made a senior league appearance for the north London side. He’s since made 110 appearances for the Turkish club and has broken into the Turkey international side.
