[Photo] Attacker Snapped In London With Agent Amid Arsenal Move Reports
Arda Turan and his agent have been photographed in London amid reports the Barcelona attacker is set to join Arsenal in January, according to the Mirror.
The transfer window may be closed but clubs are still working hard ahead of January and next summer so we’ll bring you all the latest gossip from around the globe. Today, Arsenal are linked with Arda Turan….
Arda Turan and his agent have been photographed in London amid reports the Barcelona attacker is set to join Arsenal in January, according to the Mirror.
Turan made his name during impressive spells at Galatasaray and Atletico Madrid before earning a move to Barca in 2015 but his time at the Nou Camp hasn’t gone according to plan.
The 30-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular place having made just 14 La Liga starts last season and is yet to make a single first team appearance this term having been frozen out by new boss Ernesto Valverde.
The Turkish international is expected to find a new club in January and Arsenal have been strongly linked with the attacking midfielder in recent months having been tipped to sign the player in the summer.
The Mirror says that Barcelona are happy to sell Turan this winter and claim Arsenal is the players most likely destination as Arsene Wenger looks to rejuvenate his attacking options.
Turan has now fuelled speculation linking him with a move to the Emirates after his agent Ahmet Bulut shared a photo of the pair in London on Saturday while Barcelona were in action against Celta Vigo.
It’s not clear why the duo were in the capital but the Mirror claim that Bulut has confirmed Turan will leave Barca in January so they could have been here holding talks about a potential move.
With Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil both out of contract at the end of the season, Wenger could be eyeing Turan as a potential replacement if he decides to cash-in on one of our star duo this winter.

We’ll have to wait and see how things develop but I would personally be underwhelmed if Turan is the man to come in and replace Sanchez or Ozil as he’s not on their level anymore.
