The Turkish newspaper say Newcastle United officials are following the developments over the player’s future, as he’s yet to extend his contract beyond the end of the season with the Turkish champions.
Newcastle United can speak to Ozyakup about his a pre contract agreement and possibly sign the Turkey international in the next window on a free transfer.
