Arsenal and Liverpool battle for Arda Turan

Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool are locked in the battle for Atletico Madrid star Arda Turan, according to Milliyet.

Even with the player signing a new deal at Vicente Calderon last month, the English clubs remain keen on his services.

Milliyet has suggested that both Arsenal and Liverpool are planning a January assault on the Turkey international.

Turan’s agent revealed last month that his client would be interested in a switch to England, which means he will seriously consider any offer that arrives from the Premier League.

Meanwhile, persuading los Colchoneros to sell one of their key players could prove to be a very difficult task, especially given team’s amazing performances this term.

After winning first eight La Liga matches to climb to the second position in the league standings, Atletico Madrid are 2/3 to keep their 100% record intact when they face Espanyol at Cornella El Prat this weekend.
