Arsenal has been given a boost in their pursuit of signing Arda Güler on loan in January as the Turkish talent continues to struggle for playing time at Real Madrid. Güler, widely regarded as a superbly talented player, has shown promise whenever he has had the chance to feature for Los Blancos. However, the competition for places at the Spanish club has been fierce, with several high-quality players occupying the same positions. As a result, Güler has found it difficult to secure consistent game time, a situation that mirrors that of Martin Odegaard a few years ago. Odegaard also struggled to make an impact at Madrid before Arsenal intervened, offering him more regular minutes, which allowed him to develop into one of the club’s key players.
Arsenal has reportedly set their sights on similarly rescuing Güler by offering him a loan move to the Emirates in January. The Gunners believe that by giving him more game time, they can help him continue his development. However, initial reports earlier in the week suggested that Madrid was not interested in entertaining any offers from Arsenal for the midfielder. Despite this, the situation appears to have changed, as Real Madrid is now reportedly open to the possibility of letting Güler leave on loan. A source speaking to Caught Offside revealed that Madrid has softened its stance on the matter and is considering Arsenal’s proposal.
The addition of Güler to Arsenal’s squad could provide a significant boost to their title ambitions. His ability to create and link up play would add depth and creativity to Mikel Arteta’s already talented midfield. If the move goes through, Güler could play a key role in the second half of the season, especially as Arsenal continues to compete for multiple trophies. For now, the Gunners will continue to focus on their strong form and hope that the move for Güler materialises, which could prove to be a crucial piece in their quest for success this season.

I wonder why? Could it be that those who succeed there are likely to win the big trophies – and often?
A quick comparison: Odegaard joined Arsenal from Real Madrid permanently in August 2021. Since then, he (and Arsenal) has won nothing apart from the Community Shield (2023-24).
Since then, RM (the “cemetery of talents” as you put it) has won: the Champions League (2021-22, 2023-24), La Liga (2021-22, 2023-24), Spanish Cup (2022-23), Spanish Super Cup (2022, 2024), World Club Cup (2022), European Super Cup (2022).
Some “cemetery”! Clearly not all the talents were buried then.
Guler is a real talent so it’s likely there will be several clubs after him if he’s allowed to leave on loan. It will be a big feather in Arsenal’s cap should they be chosen as his destination. We’ll see.
What does that mean for Nwaneri, who has earned more playing time with his performances? I would rather develop our own talents, than develop a player for another club.
If this loan turns into an opportunity for a Summer transfer, then it is truly something to consider. However, if it is a short loan and he returns to Real Madrid in the Summer, perhaps we would be better off using the minutes developing Nwaneri.
Suffering the same faith as our now captain did, yet young talents still flock to the cemetery of talents.

He was going to win all those while on the bench… SUPERB

Absolutely spot on
