Fenerbahce to rival Arsenal for Barcelona midfielder

Arsenal’s interest in Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan has been well documented in recent months.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Turkey international, who is seriously out of favour at the Nou Camp under Ernesto Valverde.

Turan has not found much success since his highly anticipated move from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona, and it looks as though he is set for a move in the near future.

Arsenal have been persistently cited as potential suitors for Turan, but according to reports in the midfielder’s homeland, as covered by talkSPORT, they will face competition from Fenerbahce for his signature.

Barcelona are likely to receive several approaches in the January transfer window. While Manchester United have been speculatively linked with Turan, it has looked like Arsenal are the front runners in the chase for his signature for a long time now.

Valverde is reportedly prepared to offload Turan when the transfer window re-opens.
