Santos up for post-Christmas Turkey move

Sometimes, for whatever reason, a certain player just does not work out at a certain club and it is inevitable that he will soon be leaving.

The reason for the move could be that the player just isn't good enough, he no longer fits into the club's plans or he drops a clanger (on or off the field) of epic magnitude that makes his stay at the club no longer feasible.

For Arsenal left-back Andre Santos, all of these reasons apply.

Santos has proven to be a left-back of strictly average standards, he no longer fits into the Arsene Wenger's plan as he has been replaced at left-back by Kieran Gibbs or Thomas Vermaalen and he made the clanger of swapping shirts with Robin Van Persie at half time at the game at Old Trafford versus Manchester United earlier this season.

And now, probably from a combination of all of these reasons, Santos is heading for the exit door according to the Sun on Sunday.

The paper reports that the Brazilian left-back is heading for the Emriates exit door with a move to Turkey possibly on the cards.

The paper quotes Santos saying he has had calls from clubs in Turkey and he wants to play football and doesn't mind where it is that he plays.
