The 30-year-old is known for his playmaking abilities and creativity, which, combined with his accurate passing, makes him a serious threat.

On average, Turan completes 87% of his passes and creates 1.5 chances per match. He also plays around 1.33 key passes per game.

His ability to create chances and finish is decent, and at any other top European club, the Turkish player would potentially hold a starting position.

Last season, he managed 0.72 shots per game with 40% shot accuracy.

Turan is also very versatile and can play in multiple positions from central midfield, to left or right winger.

What’s more, he’s just as strong in whatever position he plays.

The Turkey international is also good at holding onto the ball and dribbling past defenders, as well as keeping possession.

Turan is also useful in defence.

He often looks to make tackles (1.28 per game) and intercept passes (0.72 per game).
