But he will not serve that term, unless he commits a crime in the next five years.

Turan was involved in a fight with Turkish singer, Berkay Sahin, in an Istanbul nightclub late last year, leaving the singer with a broken nose.

The player later arrived at the hospital with a gun, which he fired at the ground, causing panic.

Basaksehir said they had fined the 31-year-old 2.5 million Turkish lira over the incident.
