Arsenal will soon open talks to sign Barcelona attacking midfielder Arda Turan, the Sun has revealed.
The Spanish giants have told the player that he is free to leave during the summer transfer window.
The 30-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates last summer but decided to stay in the Spanish Liga.
The Turkey international failed to make an impact at the Nou Camp since his £24million move from Atletico Madrid.
Recent reports have claimed that the Gunners have already made contact with his agent in order to beat the competition of other clubs such as Internazionale.
