Arsenal are one of those having a look at Real Madrid forward Arda Guler ahead of the January transfer window, [according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/miguel-delaney-football-updates-newsletter-b1859565.html).
He claimed in his ‘Reading the Game’ weekly newsletter on Friday that the Gunners are showing interest in the Turkey international, who is increasingly upset about the lack of minutes following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
While Madrid naturally see him as the future of the club and do not want to lose him, there is the possibility of allowing him to leave on loan, and they could even sanction a permanent deal with a buy-back clause included.
A temporary deal could appeal to Arsenal in January as manager Mikel Arteta could do with attacking reinforcements heading into the second half of 2024-25.
Guler only has an assist in 14 appearances this term, but he has started just five times and is yearning for regular playing chances, which the Gunners could offer him.
The 19-year-old bagged a goal and two assists in five games during the European Championship in the summer and also has a goal and an assist in six Nations League games so far.
Guler ended last season with six goals in ten La Liga appearances, and landing him, even on loan, could be huge for Arsenal.
He can play on the right wing, behind the striker and as a number 9, and his versatility would come in handy at the North London club.
While both Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli are incredible players, an attacker like Guler is capable of giving them a run for their money in the Arsenal starting XI.
The teenage sensation is desperate to prove a point and he could follow in the footsteps of Martin Odegaard and establish himself as a key player for the North London club after struggling for chances at Madrid.
