5 destinations for Barcelona outcast Arda Turan

#3 Everton

Big Sam has big plans for Everton

Everton are in dire need of an extra bit of quality. They brought an abundance of attacking midfielders that lacked width or speed, forcing them to fight it out in central areas and end up getting nowhere.

Turan might not give them a great deal of pace but he does love to dribble with the ball, giving them that much-needed penetration in the final third. Mix him in with Gylfi Sigurdsson and young players like Domenic Calvert-Lewin and he’ll be a really potent option at Goodison Park.

Sam Allardyce loves players that can give him a little extra and having been at Atletico Madrid, Turan knows a thing or two about work rate. It’ll take a strong effort from the former England man to coax it out of him now he’s in his thirties, but it should still be within his makeup.

He could even be joining a mini-Turkish revolution, having seen fellow international compatriot Cenk Tosun already become a Toffee this January.
