The Turkish international star has featured in the reigning La Liga champions last four games since making his debut against rivals Espanyol in the Spanish Cup a fortnight ago.
Barcelona have won all four games since Turan made his debut scoring a whopping 16 goals and conceding just once.
We took a look at social media to get a feel of how Barcelona fans responded to his most recent performance.
The following tweeter decided to share his individual stats from the game against Bilbao which were pretty impressive for 45 minutes work.

Turan’s versatility was also highlighted. The 28-year-old winger has now played in four different positions in his last four games.

Turan has also been breaking stereotypes. The 28-year-old may have a reputation as being a hard-working, no-nonsense winger but he initially made a name for himself as a technical player – a lazy one – at Galatasaray before developing a more assiduous nature under the stewardship of Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid.
