Arda: Messi would give me the number 10 shirt

During the presentation of Barça's squad at the Joan Gamper trophy game, each of Luis Enrique's players came out onto the field with a shirt number on their back.

Except Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan. The new signings, who are unable to wear the shirt in a game, friendly or not, have to wait until the January transfer window to get a number. Due to this, NTVSpor asked Turan which number he will take.

"When I got into the Turkish national team, I was wearing the number 14, because my father is a fan of Cruyff, but my shirt number is not too important to me. I will decide in January. Messi told me: 'If you want the 10, it's yours,'" Arda said while laughing, showing that it isn't a topic that he cares too much about.

Arda Turan also showed the confidence that he has: "I can play in any position and I will work for it, this is why I have signed for Barça. I came to fight and I want to be one of the cogs of the team."
