Talk of Ozil signing a deal & Arda Turan joining. Liking the sound of things so far. Will have to see it to believe it though! #arsenal

Saw this article and it said Arsenal were linked with Barca star… I was hoping it wasn’t Gomes. Thankfully it was Arda.

Not everyone seems onboard with Turan joining.
To be fair to Turan, reports that he mocked Arsenal actually stem from a poor translation. He did not insult the North London giants.
Didnt Arda Turan mock Arsenal before?.. whats with the U-turn now.. effects of bench warming.. ;).. #transferrumours

I only rate Arda Turan for his beard, he has the technical ability of Danny Drinkwater

Others appear less confident that Arsenal will be able to sign Turan.
Not as much as Arsenal fans were excited over Higuain, Benzema and Arda but will end up signing Henry Onyekuru https://t.co/1baz22lgAz
