Hakan Calhanoglu admits that he is flattered by interest from Barcelona
The Bayer Leverkusen star is an apparent priority for Arsene Wenger this summer as the Frenchman looks to strengthen in midfield.
The Daily Mail claimed last week that the Gunners have been scouting Calhanoglu for a while now, with his set-pieces in particular impressing Emirates staff.
Manchester City have also been linked with a summer bid, whilst Spanish media outlets have tipped him to join Barcelona once their transfer embargo ends in 2016.

And speaking ahead of Bayer's Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid, Calhanoglu admitted that he was flattered by the interest shown by Barcelona, but at the same time reaffirmed his commitment to the Bundesliga outfit.
He said: "There has been no official offer from Barcelona, but I am obviously flattered by the rumours that they are interested in me.
"My agent handles the proposals that I get but right now I'm good at Leverkusen and I will not leave.
"I want to achieve certain goals in the course of my career, but right now I am totally focused on the second leg of the Champions League game against Atletico."
