Arsenal are having a tough season of late, finding it quite difficult to win matches continuously. Besides, their most trusted attacking pair of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil is rumoured to be looking to be a part of some other team. As a result, current club coach Arsene Wenger is looking to bring in some new players to get the team out of their woes in the next season.
Reportedly, Arda Turan, the attacking midfielder from Barcelona has been linked with a move to the North London club. Arda Turan has been out of favour with the current club coach of Barcelona Luis Enrique and is looking for a move out of Nou Camp this summer.
With the trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar at the fore, it has been pretty difficult for the Turkish midfield maestro to make it to the starting 11 most of the times in this season. He has only 17 appearances to his name throughout this season for the Catalan giants, scoring 3 goals along with 3 assists to his name.
Arda Turan is held in the highest regard as one of the best midfielders in the modern game. However, after the current dismal season in Europe, Barcelona are looking to offload a few of their current team players and the Turkish skipper might be one of them.
Apart from his goal scoring abilities and pinpoint passing, Arda Turan also has the ability to go deep down into the defence and help his teammates avert dangers from the opposition team. He is equipped with superb heading abilities and is very dangerous from set piece situations. His free kicks are some of the trickiest ones, bamboozling the opposition goalkeeper most of the times.
Reportedly, apart from the Premier League club, a number of other clubs from all over Europe are also on the list to make Turan wear their colours in the next season. Italian Serie A side Internazionale has been looking to bag the midfielder for the next season. Nevertheless, they have to face tough competition from the Premier League side to secure the services of the Turkish captain.
Barcelona has not come out with any statement about the departure of Arda Turan from Nou Camp next season, but the chances for the ex-Atletico Madrid midfielder to stay back with the Catalan giants looks quite gloomy at this moment. Despite his £25 million price tag, it is being speculated that the Turkish captain will not have a dearth of spenders to take him away from the Spanish club next season.
