The talented Turkish international has previously drawn comparisons with Manchester United and England legend David Beckham for his set-piece ability and prowess with shooting from long range.

The 21-year-old has notched up nine goals and four assists in all competitions this season, and is fast becoming one of the most highly regarded young players in Europe.

Barca could do with a new signing in midfield with doubts over the future of veteran playmaker Xavi, while the likes of Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic have not been on top form this season either.
