BARCELONA star Arda Turan has fuelled speculation he is on his way to Arsenal after he was spotted in London on Saturday.

Instead of watching his Barca team-mates draw at home to Celta Vigo, the 30-year-old midfielder took a stroll through wealthy Knightsbridge with his agent Ahmet Bulut who posted a picture of the pair on Instagram.

The Turkish international has been told he has no future at the Nou Camp under current boss Ernesto Valverde and can leave in January.

Turan has been totally frozen out this season and is the only senior Barcelona player to have not seen a minute of action so far this term.

He has scored 15 times in 55 appearances since signing from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2015.

Barca are prepared to offer the midfielder as part of an audacious move for contract rebel Mesut Ozil next month.

Bulut has confirmed Turan’s days in Catalonia are numbered but insists his client has options all over Europe.

He said: “It's not clear right now where he is going but he will leave from Barcelona in January.
