Galatasaray coach confirms interest in Arda Turan

Galatasaray coach Igor Tudor has given the green light for the signing of Turkish midfielder Arda Turan. On Thursday Turkish media revealed president Dursum Ozbek was interested in bringing him back to the club from Barcelona.

Ozbek was in town to speak to Tudor about the deal. According to the Turkish media, Tudor is very happy with the idea. "He's a very good option, we have some injured players and Arda could be the name we need in the attacking line."

Turan left Gala in 2011. Tudor said: "Arda is a player I like. He's a hard worker and a complete player, he'd definitely be a very good choice."

Barcelona would like to sell him but whether Arda wants to go is another matter.
