Arsenal & Tottenham in race to sign Real Madrid star Arda Guler. Both clubs see the Turkish youngster as a future game-changer and are ready to test Madrid’s stance.
Arda Guler sparks interest from Arsenal & Tottenham
Arda Guler’s emergence at Real Madrid has been extraordinary. He was helpful last season by scoring some key goals and assists. Now at 20 years old, he is now a consistent part of new head coach Xabi Alonso’s plans. He is a player of immense creativity, flair and is a natural in the final third, and is one of the most exciting young talents in La Liga.
It’s no surprise then that PL giants are circling. As per reports, both Arsenal and Tottenham are keen to tempt him away from the Bernabeu. Both club’s scouts are already tracking his performances closely.
For Arsenal, Guler’s profile fits the system of what Mikel Arteta is building. The Gunners are reportedly in contact with Madrid and the player’s camp to understand the conditions for a potential move. Their midfield is already packed with talent. But, adding someone of Guler’s style could give them an extra edge in tight matches.
Meanwhile, Tottenham view him as the missing piece in attack. He has an eye for a pass and ability to exploit space. This could be a massive boost to Spurs’ front line. That is especially against teams that sit deep.
More competition brewing
Newcastle United are also said to be in the mix. They are looking to add more creativity to their midfield ranks. Eddie Howe’s side is looking for a bit of UCL continuity. The young Turkish player provides the key piece in terms of youth, quality and resale value.
However, the appeal of North London could be hard to resist. Both clubs have long known that signing Guler will be a statement of intent.
Author’s Opinion:
Arda Guler looks like a player built for the Premier League. Whoever wins this tug-of-war won’t just get a talented youngster, but also a potential star who can light up English football.
