“Arda? I think he’s enjoying playing at Barca a lot. He’s doing great and he looks very happy,” Enrique told reporters in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Athletic Bilbao clash.

Turan featured in all six games since making his debut in the 4-1 victory over rivals Espanyol in the Spanish Cup earlier in the month.
