Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Turkish midfielder Arda Guler at the end of the season.
A report from Fichajes claims that the 18-year-old midfielder is on the radar of Tottenham and the Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.
Guler has had a difficult time since joining the Spanish club Real Madrid and he has struggled for regular game time. He needs to leave the club in order to play regular first-team football and it will be interesting to see if the likes of Tottenham are prepared to provide him with an exit route.
The Turkish midfielder was regarded as a world-class talent before his move to Spanish football and he could be a quality long-term acquisition for the north London club. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham sign the player on loan or permanently.
According to the report, Spurs have been in touch with the midfielder’s representatives for quite some time and they have maintained a strong relationship with them. The Premier League club will hope to secure his services in the coming months. Guler is versatile enough to operate as a central midfielder as well as an attacking midfielder. He has the technical attributes to operate in wide areas as well. He will add goals and creativity to the midfield.
Tottenham have a talented squad at their disposal, and they are looking to put together a formidable unit for the future.
They will be hoping to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons and players like Guler could help them compete at the highest level.
The Turkish midfielder has the quality to develop into a top class player and regular football in England could accelerate his development. If Tottenham can nurture him properly and help him fulfil his potential, they could have a future star on their hands.
Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to beat Bayer Leverkusen to his signature and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. The move to Real Madrid has clearly not worked out for the talented midfielder, and he will be tempted to join the Premier League club if the opportunity arises at the end of the season.
