Arsenal are among the clubs who have sent scouts to watch one of Real Madrid’s most talented players at Euro 2024 in Germany.
The Gunners need reinforcements in multiple areas of their pitch, and the European Championships gives them the opportunity to have a closer look at some of their targets.
We’ve already seen some exceptional performances at Euro 2024 so far, and there are definitely a few players Arsenal should be considering.
One Real Madrid player is reportedly on Arsenal’s radar now.
Real Madrid’s stance revealed as Arsenal scout Arda Guler
Real Madrid star Arda Guler became a star at the Euros on Tuesday.
The attacking midfielder scored what is arguably the goal of the tournament so far for Turkey to help them beat Georgia in their opening game of the competition.
Guler’s stock would’ve definitely shot up, which is good news for Real Madrid, who signed him from Fenerbahce for an initial £17 million with potential add-ons taking the fee up to £26 million (Goal).
The Turk has only been at the Santiago Bernabeu for a year, but clubs are already circling to make a move to sign him this summer.
CaughtOffside have claimed that Arsenal are among a number of big teams who have sent scouts to Germany to watch Guler in action.
It has been revealed that scouts from Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are all keeping an eye on the Turkey international.
The report adds that the Premier League clubs who are scouting Guler ‘could soon make approaches to get information’ on his situation. However, they will all end up with disappointment.
Real Madrid reportedly consider Guler ‘untouchable’. They want to keep him at the club and he’s ‘fully part of their plans for the long term’.
What Mesut Ozil has said about Guler is very interesting
Mesut Ozil‘s time at Arsenal didn’t end well, but every fan of the Emirates Stadium club will tell you that he was an exceptional player.
The German is one of the greatest attacking midfielders of all time. Sami Khedira even called him the ‘best player’ he has ever seen, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Arsenal’s interest in Guler is now very interesting because there are a lot of similarities between the Real Madrid man and Ozil.
In fact, the former Arsenal number 10 has publicly claimed that Guler is even better than him.
Speaking to Marca in 2023, when Ozil was asked if there is a number 10 who’s better than him, he said: “I can think of a name, I have a brother that I believe in, may God protect him: his name is Arda Guler.”
