CHERRIES midfielder Harry Arter is reportedly a “surprise target” for three clubs in Turkey.

The Sun claim the likes of Besiktas, Ankaragucu and Denizlispor are all interested in snapping up the Republic of Ireland international on a permanent deal.

Arter has been back in training with Cherries this pre-season, having spent the past two campaigns on loan at Fulham and Cardiff.

He helped the Cottagers seal promotion from the Championship last season but did not start enough games to trigger an option for Scott Parker’s side to sign him.

The Sidcup-born ace, who made 21 Championship starts in total last season, is under contract at Cherries until 2021.

He has racked up 255 appearances for the Dorset club, having signed from Woking a decade ago.
