Barcelona's Arda 'not going anywhere' amid Arsenal rumours

Reports suggesting the Gunners are close to agreeing a deal for the Turkey international midfielder are inaccurate, according to the player's agent

Arda Turan will be staying at Barcelona despite reports he is close to securing a transfer to Arsenal, his agent has said.

Arda has struggled to earn a regular place in the Barca line-up, making 14 La Liga starts last season as Luis Enrique's team missed out on the title to rivals Real Madrid.

The 30-year-old had previously been linked with a move to the Chinese Super League, but Turan's representative Ahmet Bulut said the player will remain at Camp Nou and is unhappy about false claims about his future.
