Chelsea look to have won the race to sign Atletico Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Turan this summer, with reports that he will snub an offer from Barcelona.

The Blues are one of a number of clubs thought to be chasing the Turkish international, and could land him in a £29.2m move if they agree to meet his release clause.

Although Turan had been most strongly linked with a move to the Nou Camp, it seems he has become tired with the lengthy negotiations and now favours the potential switch to Stamford Bridge, according to the Metro.

Arsenal had also been linked with the 28-year-old as part of a swap deal involving Spanish playmaker Santi Cazorla, who may still move to the Vincente Calderon as his replacement.
