Arsenal sent a scout to watch 25-year-old Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but the Turkey player did not play

Arsenal's hopes of signing Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup have been hit by a rival bid from Everton.

The Gunners are preparing a £10m bid for 25-year-old Besiktas and Turkey midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup - a player they sold for only £400,000 in 2012.

Arsenal are interested in re-signing Besiktas' Oguzhan Ozyakup, 23, who played for the Gunners as a youngster. But they face competition from AC Milan, Fiorentina and Borussia Dortmund for the Turkey playmaker
