Real Madrid has two players Arsenal is eyeing. The club wants Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler to join Arsenal. This could prove to be a massive change in Arsenal’s attack for the remainder of the season.
His recent success has caught everyone’s attention. Real Madrid’s last six league games saw the 19-year-old Turkish player score five goals. Güler played well in Euro 2024. For Turkey, he scored once and he assisted in two other goals. Many were surprised his team made it to the quarter-finals where they faced the Netherlands.
Güler joined Real Madrid for £25 million from Fenerbahce. He is ‘Turkish Messi’ in the sense that many people express this: he plays like that. He hasn’t played much this season. In all games, he’s been on the field for about 300 minutes. He has just three league matches to his name so far. He also played as a substitute in the Champions League.
This is Arsenal’s chance. Güler, they want, to bring on loan in January. He thinks his story could be similar to Martin Odegaard’s. At Real Madrid, Odegaard wasn’t a first choice either. When he went to Arsenal, he became arguably the best player in England.
Another Real Madrid player Arsenal wants is Brahim Diaz. Neither has the 25-year-old played much. Güler has played less than him this season. Even when he plays, he still plays well. This season in Spain’s top league, he has scored once and laid on two goals.
Arsenal want Arda Guler
Manchester City is also keen on Diaz, of course. They might think we should bring him back to England, go in the summer, and play there. Real Madrid wants around £50m for him. Former Real Madrid player Michael Owen believes that Diaz is like Lionel Messi.
‘He seems like the type to do quick steps, it’s a different stature and it’s left foot,’ said Owen. Arsenal’s interest in both players suggests they want to add to their ranks. Temporary Arsenal transfers chief Jason Ayto believes the Arsenal side lacks attacking options. The season will be a tough second half. Amid a Premier League title battle and European competitions, Arsenal is in command.
One of these players could leave Real Madrid according to reports from Spain. They know that teenagers need to play to improve. Arsenal’s relationship with Real could see these deals go off. The Odegaard transfer success proves Arsenal at least can help nurture Real Madrid’s young players.
It’s also important that the timing of these possible moves be expedited. Teams have a chance in the January transfer window to get right or fix things in their squad. Arsenal have been playing well lately but they need more than just one option up front. The second half of the season is a time of games fast. With players of that ilk like Güler and Diaz, Arsenal can rotate to stay fresh.
Midfielders on the list
Arsenal is already talking to Real Madrid according to recent updates. What does it take to sign these players? They’ll want to know that. Other teams know there is competition with Arsenal. In trying to get deals done early in January, they’re working quickly. Any new arrivals at the club will be given time to settle into English football.
The fact Arsenal are looking to sign either Güler or Diaz demonstrates just how far Arsenal has come. Now top young players see Arsenal as a place where they can develop and succeed. The team that Mikel Arteta is building plays exciting football. Therefore, it is quite an attractive proposition for players who are seeking to push on with their careers.
