Arda Turan stays silent as Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd lie in wait
LIVERPOOL, Manchester United and Arsenal target Arda Turan has played down reports he is set to leave Atletico Madrid this summer.
The Turkish playmaker is one of Diego Simeone's key men, and was instrumental in his side's La Liga and Champions League efforts this season.
Turan has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, with many teams admiring his versatility and determination to exceed on the field, but the 27-year-old refused to be drawn on rumours that he is seeking a move away from the Vicente Calderon this summer.
He said: "I'm not the right person to speak about this.
Atletico Madrid celebrate La Liga title
We're not in talks with any English club
"We won the league and I'm still celebrating our achievements this season."
Turan's agent Ahmet Bulut also echoed his client's words, explaining: "There are several reports in the press saying we've made contact with English clubs but these are not true.
"I didn't speak with anybody and we're not in talks with any English club. Also it's the wrong time to talk about a transfer."
