It has been stated that the Gunners would have to rival <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/newcastle-united\/\">Newcastle United<\/a>, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Tottenham Hotspur in the race to land the Turkish talent next year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Guler\u2019s Impressive Form In Spanish Football This Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Guler has made a good start to this campaign as he has put in a handful of impressive displays for Los Blancos on the offensive end of the field. The Turkish attacker has participated in ten matches for Real Madrid this season, scoring three goals and grabbing four assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old has proven himself to be a consistent performer in the final third by averaging 2.25 shots per 90 minutes in <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/la-liga\/\">La Liga<\/a>. He has kept 42.9% of his attempts on target. Guler has also been accurate when distributing the ball in the opponent\u2019s half, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 88% in the top tier of Spanish football (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3741ca58\/Arda-Guler\">fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>His current contract at the Madrid club will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it difficult for the Gunners to sign him on a cut-price deal next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_334094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-334094\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Arsenal\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-1260x840.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239367623-min-2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-334094\">MADRID, SPAIN \u2013 OCTOBER 04: Arda Guler of Real Madrid looks on prior to the LaLiga EA Sports match between Real Madrid CF and Villarreal CF at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on October 04, 2025 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by Angel Martinez\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Should Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta Move In For Guler?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Guler excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to create some inviting chances in and around the opponent\u2019s penalty box and is a good dribbler with the ball as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish sensation has chipped in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. He is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-sided wide player if told to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Guler would no doubt enhance the quality of Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta\u2019s attack. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at the North London club.<\/p>\n<p>At 20, Guler has the potential to be a generational talent, so it makes sense for the Gunners to move in for him this January or next summer. However, only time will tell whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, Grada 3 claimed that Arsenal are facing stiff competition for Real Madrid playmaker Arda Guler.
