Coral’s Rumour Reel: Turan puts top-flight clubs on red alert

Arda Turan has set alarming bells ringing among many Premier League clubs, having claimed he would be open to a switch to the top flight.

The Turkey international attacker has two years remaining on his current deal in Spain, and his agent has declared that the La Liga star has intentions of arriving in England. Manchester United are linked with a move for his services, with Turan having also been sought after by French champions PSG.

Meanwhile, Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin will reportedly come to an arrangement with his current club which would allow him to depart St Mary’s Stadium. The France international anchorman is a target of both United and Tottenham, but Arsenal are leading the way for his signature, and are 5/1 with Coral for a title triumph next term.

In the opposite direction, the Saints could make a move for Marseille midfielder Giannelli Umbula as a replacement for their possibly departing star. The 22-year-old has previously been dubbed ‘the new Patrick Vieira’, having impressed for the French Under-21s and in Ligue 1 last term.

For the champions Chelsea, Jose Mourinho may seek a swoop for Augsburg left back Baba Rahman, with the 20-year-old a potentially suitable replacement for Filipe Luis, but the Blues face competition from both Arsenal and Manchester City.
