Arter could get boost from getting his Irish squad call up

It has been announced that Harry Arter is among Martin O'Neill's squad to face Turkey in an international friendly on 23 March 2018. The game will be played in the New Antalya stadium and will be a game that should help make the Denmark World Cup qualifier exit a bit more of a distant memory.

Arter will hope to play against Turkey to get his game back on line.

For Harry Arter it is likely to be more a case of trying to get his game back n shape and having a different manager and squad of players to listen to. Harry needs to feel wanted and to have a goal that he can concentrate on, and I think he will find it a relief to have an aim to be involved in this game following his lack of game time in AFCB colours.

The match probably comes at a good time for Arter. He will be fresh and should have plenty of running in his legs, and I still think he has much to show the Republic of Ireland fans of how good he can be. While Harry and the Republic of Ireland won't be involved in the World Cup this summer this is a valuable game for Harry to play in if he can get some time against a side that have international players. Turkey lost out to Iceland and Croatia in qualification, but England fans know how good those teams can be.

If Arter can impress though in this game it would interest Eddie Howe. Arter has to hit top levels to get back into the Bournemouth side and he will be running out of opportunities to get back into the side with the games starting to run out. It is a good opportunity for Arter to showcase himself. Whether that means he receives interest from other clubs over the summer or not, Harry can boost his worth by playing well for the Republic of Ireland. It is a team he has been in and around for more than a year or two now and that kind of stability should be helping Arter to find his form again.
