Arsene Wenger may have already brought in Granit Xhaka and Takuma Asano this transfer window, but Arsenal fans are still waiting for a signing to really capture their imagination.
The Gunners are reluctant to spend excessively in an inflated market, but they could be on the verge of securing a cut-price deal for Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan, according to the Sun.
The Turkish international could be sold for just £23million, which is a remarkable price considering Barca paid £35million only last year.
Turan scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists in the 13 games he featured in last season which suggests he could be a hit in the Premier League.
Although he’s struggled to break into Barca’s star-studded midfield, Turan could expect more playing time at the Emirates as they are short in the leadership department since the retirement of Mikel Arteta.
As Turkey captain, Turan has already proven his leadership credentials so he could be just the big personality the Gunners need to steer them to the title next season.”
