Barcelona to unveil midfielder Turan on Friday
Barcelona: FC Barcelona have announced that their new signing, Turkish midfielder Arda Turan will be officially presented to the media on Friday.
The former Atletico Madrid player will undergo the usual photo session with the club’s crest, and on Friday morning, the Turk will sign his contract before being presented at a press conference, Efe reported on Wednesday.
Turan, 28, is expected to later participate in another photo shoot wearing the Barcelona jersey at the Camp Nou stadium, in the presence of the club’s fans.
Barcelona will not be able to take advantage of the summer window due to sanctions imposed by FIFA against the Catalan club for signing minors, preventing it from signing any new players until January 2016.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
