Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup has revealed that he and former Arsenal teammate Robin van Persie still do not speak following their falling-out last year.
The 25-year-old got into a scuffle with the Fenerbahce forward during the Turkish Cup quarter-final in the 2016-17 campaign.
Van Persie, who goaded his rival after scoring in the 1-0 triumph, played alongside Ozyakup at Arsenal between 2008 and 2012.
When asked by Socrates magazine about the duo's relationship, the Besiktas player said: "We still do not talk, usually players make up after games but this was different.
"Maybe we will make up one day but it will not be the same as before. I do not really want to talk about this to be honest. I do not think I was in the wrong, if anything I was wrong to show Robin as much respect as I did."
Meanwhile, Van Persie was recently forced to deny claims that his career is under threat due to injury.
