The development team at EA Sports announces that Arda Turan, who is currently playing for Atletico Madrid, is the player that is accompanying Lionel Messi, the star from Barcelona, on the cover of the upcoming FIFA 15 title in Turkey.

As the image released by the official Twitter account of the series shows, he is depicted in the colors of his country rather than those of his club in order to better represent his status as one of the best players to have been produced by the Turkish youth system.

The player began his career at Galatasaray and was promoted to the first team by Gheorghe Hagi, and since then, he has performed well for both the club and the country at the highest level.

FIFA 15 is the first title in the series which will include a full simulation of the Turkish League, complete with simulated players and stadiums.

The new title will be launched in late September on the PC, the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 and last-gen consoles.

EA Sports says that all core elements of the game have been updated and that gamers will be able to notice more intelligent teammates, more realism for the ball and improved shooting and defensive mechanics.
