Barcelona attacker Arda Turan claims that he wants to 'end his career' with the Spanish champions.

Turkish international Arda Turan has revealed that he wants to 'end his career with Barcelona'.

The 29-year-old, who joined Barcelona in the summer of 2015, was linked with a move away from Camp Nou after struggling for regular action in the second half of last season.

Turan has featured on a regular basis this season, however, scoring five times in 10 appearances for the Spanish champions.

Lionel Messi's return will push Turan back down the pecking order at Barcelona, but the Turk is more than happy to sit on the bench for the Catalan giants.

"Barcelona are the best team in the world. I feel I belong to this jersey. If I'm needed for just one minute, I'll play for just one minute. If I'm needed to stay on the bench then I'm going to stay on the bench," Turan told Radyospor.

"And I give everything I have when I'm in starting lineups. My coach is always showing me that he's pleased with me. I want to end my career at Barcelona."

Turan has already matched his scoring total in the league (2) from last season.
