Barcelona star fuels speculation he is Arsenal bound after being spotted in London

Turan has been frozen out at Barca this season and has been told to find another club and one possible solution could be a move to Arsenal with Mesut Ozil going the other way

BARCELONA star Arda Turan has fuelled speculation he is on his way to Arsenal after he was spotted in London on Saturday.

Instead of watching his Barca team-mates draw at home to Celta Vigo, the 30-year-old midfielder took a stroll through wealthy Knightsbridge with his agent Ahmet Bulut who posted a picture of the pair on Instagram.

Turan has been totally frozen out this season and is the only senior Barcelona player to have not seen a minute of action so far this term.

He has scored 15 times in 55 appearances since signing from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2015.

Barca are prepared to offer the midfielder as part of an audacious move for contract rebel Mesut Ozil next month.

Bulut has confirmed Turan’s days in Catalonia are numbered but insists his client has options all over Europe.

He said: “It’s not clear right now where he is going but he will leave from Barcelona in January.

“We’re talking with three or four teams from Spain, Italy and England.

“There is no contact with Galatasaray, after 15 days we’ll make a final decision.

“There are two options, he will be sold or loaned.”
