Arda Turan could leave Barcelona in January with Arsenal among the clubs being alerted of his availability, according to reports in the player's native Turkey.

The midfielder has struggled for regular first-team football at the Nou Camp since his move from Atletico Madrid in July 2015 and he is yet to make an appearance this season.

Turan has not played a single minute of the 11 matches played so far this campaign, and the 30-year-old will be offered to potential suitors when the transfer window opens in the new year.
