Arsenal receive transfer boost as £24m Barcelona star keen on Premier League move

Barcelona star midfielder Arda Turan looks set for a January exit after failing to play a single minutes of La Liga football this season.

The Turkey international has fallen out of favour at Barca following the appointment of Ernesto Valverde as manager over the summer.

The 30-year-old, who has scored 15 goals in 55 matches since joining Barca from Atletico Madrid has grown frustrated at the Spanish club and is looking for a fresh start.

A source close to the player has revealed to Turkish-Football that Turan is keen on a move to the Premier League.

Furthermore, the Turkey international will favour a move to London over any other area in England.

Turan purchased a house in London last year and was spotted in the English capital earlier this month.

The news will come as a major boost to Arsenal who have been linked with a move for the star midfielder. Turkey national team manager Mircea Lucescu recently revealed that Arsenal had a bid for Turan turned down last summer.
