Arda Turan signs new Atletico deal

Atletico Madrid have announced on their official website that star midfielder Arda Turan has extended his contract at Vicente Calderon.

The Turkey international has put pen to paper on a contract until June 2017, but the financial details were not disclosed.

Despite expressing his desire to leave los Colchoneros last season, the 26-year-old has continued his rich vein of form and was in turn rewarded with a new contract.

Arda Turan joined Atletico from Turkish giants Galatasaray two years ago, and quickly developed into a key member of the side.

The attacking midfielder enjoyed a lot of success with his new club, winning Europa League, UEFA Super Cup trophy and Copa del Rey.

Since arriving at Vicente Calderon, Turan has made a total of 69 La Liga appearances, scoring 9 goals in the process.

Meanwhile, he has remained an important part of Turkey national team, and currently has 58 caps to his name.
