Club career
Early career
Arslan was born and raised in Germany, in Paderborn, to Turkish parents from Çorum; his father, a real estate agent, moved to Germany when he was 11 years old. He began playing football at the age of six, when his father brought him along to watch Grün-Weiß Paderborn play. Arslan began his career with the local club. Patterning his game around Zinedine Zidane and Gheorghe Hagi, Arslan earned a move to Borussia Dortmund in 2003. After several years in Dortmund's youth team, Arslan moved to Hamburger SV.[2]
Hamburger SV
Arslan moved to Hamburger SV on a free transfer in 2009. He made his debut on 23 September 2009, coming in the 70th minute as a substitute for Marcus Berg in the second round of the DFB-Pokal against Osnabrück.[3] Hamburg managed a 3–3 draw, but went on to lose 5–7 following a penalty shootout. Arslan made his league debut on 17 October 2009 in a 0–0 draw against Bayer Leverkusen.[4]
He moved on loan to Alemannia Aachen for the 2010–11 season and scored his first goal for the club in the fifth week of the 2. Bundesliga in a 3–1 win against FSV Frankfurt.[5]
Beşiktaş
On 27 January 2015, Arslan signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Süper Lig club Beşiktaş.[6] He came on as a substitute for José Sosa on 26 February in the 60th minute of a UEFA Europa League last 32 second leg against Liverpool, and 15 minutes later scored the only goal of the game, taking it to a penalty shootout in which he scored Beşiktaş' last attempt before Dejan Lovren missed to eliminate Liverpool.[7]
International career
Arslan began his career with the Turkey youth teams in 2009. He made two appearances for the U-19 team in 2009.[8] He made his first appearance for the Turkey national under-21 football team against the Republic of Ireland on 7 September 2010.[9]
In December 2010, Arslan switched to the German Football Association.[10] He was first called up to the Germany national under-21 team to face, of all teams, Turkey on 14 November 2012.[11]
Personal life
In November 2018, it was decided that Arslan would perform his military service for Turkey in June 2019.[12]
