Arsenal are reportedly ready to go all in for Real Madrid’s rising star Arda Guler, with the north London club prepared to make a massive offer to lure the Turkish sensation to the Premier League.
After a busy summer window, Arsenal’s hierarchy led by Stan Kroenke backed Mikel Arteta with several high-profile signings including Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Eberechi Eze.
The investment has paid off, as the Gunners currently sit top of the Premier League table with 16 points from seven games — a strong return considering their tough opening fixtures.
Eze has quickly adapted to Arteta’s style, contributing two assists in the league so far. With Martin Odegaard sidelined due to an MCL injury sustained in the 2-0 win over West Ham United, Eze has stepped up to fill the creative void.
However, Arsenal could look to strengthen their attacking midfield further, and Guler has emerged as a prime target.
According to reports from Spain, Arsenal are among several clubs — including Newcastle United, AC Milan, and Tottenham Hotspur — chasing the 20-year-old playmaker.
The Gunners are believed to be especially determined, with Kroenke willing to make a significant financial push to convince Real Madrid to sell. Guler’s current valuation is understood to exceed £130 million.
Former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has praised Guler’s immense potential, describing him as “a special talent” who is highly effective in tight spaces.
The Turkish midfielder has enjoyed an impressive start to the 2025–26 season, already registering six goal contributions in La Liga — just two shy of his total from last season.
While signing Guler might not be an immediate necessity for Arsenal, his talent and rapid development make him one of Europe’s most exciting prospects.
Securing his signature would be another statement of intent from Arteta’s ambitious side.
