Tottenham interested in signing talented Real Madrid player with potential to emulate Martin Odegaard’s success.
Martin Odegaard is making a rare appearance for Real Madrid, replacing Luka Modric. Meanwhile, there is speculation that Arda Guler, a star of Arsenal, could follow a similar career path if he were to join the Premier League.
Guler moved to the Bernabeu from Fenerbahce in a £17 million deal last summer, but has struggled to secure game time under Carlo Ancelotti, with just two La Liga appearances to his name. Real Madrid is said to be open to loan offers for Guler in order to facilitate his development, similar to what they did with Odegaard.
Guler’s situation at Real Madrid has been challenging, and there is a possibility that he may follow a career trajectory similar to that of Odegaard. Martin Odegaard, who is currently the club captain of Arsenal, made 11 first-team appearances for Real Madrid in seven-and-a-half years, spending time on loan in Holland, Spain, and eventually joining Arsenal.
Odegaard has become a prominent performer in the Premier League, earning recognition such as being named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and being awarded Arsenal Player of the Year in the 2022/23 season. There is debate about whether Guler would secure regular playing time under Postecoglou at Arsenal, given the strong performances of players like James Maddison and Pape Sarr.
However, due to a string of injuries this season, extra quality options in the squad would be welcomed by the Aussie boss. Guler has already earned four international caps, and has garnered attention for his performance in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Wales.
