Sportskeeda's take on the EPL transfer rumours of 24th July

Arda Turan to Arsenal

Arda Turan was out for Barcelona’s first half of last season due to Barcelona’s transfer ban

Arda Turan has failed to make the sort of impact he’d have wanted at Barcelona. According to Spanish daily Sport, Arsenal are interested in the services of Turan and should offer at least €30m to complete a deal for him. The player is expected to have crunch talks with Luis Enrique once he returns for pre-season training.

Experts say: Few English media outlets have also been reporting the same, but they don’t seem reliable.

Our take: Arda Turan still has another four years left on his contract at Barcelona, and is likely to stay at the Catalan club beyond summer. The Turkish international has been at the club only for a season, and has played only in the last six months so could try to force himself into Enrique’s plans for next season even if he is asked to leave. Also, Arsenal would ideally want to sign a striker should they spend big money on anyone.

Chances of it happening: 4/10
