Darren Bent has warned Arsenal against pursuing Real Madrid playmaker Arda Guler.
To revitalise their attack, the Gunners are reportedly considering a move for a playmaker and a top-scoring striker. These moves have been influenced by the glaring creativity struggle when Martin Odegaard is missing, coupled with the fact that Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have failed to consistently score goals when leading the Arsenal attack.
Having said that, it has emerged that Arda Guler is one of the playmakers Arsenal could potentially sign on loan in the winter.
With his quality at Real Madrid, the Turkish playmaker has been unable to establish himself at Santiago Bernabeu. He’s more of a squad player there than a main star.
It has been suggested Arsenal, like they did with the 2021 Martin Odegaard loan swoop, is looking to tempt Real Madrid to allow him to join them in a loan deal to continue his development.
So far there’s been no suggestion Real Madrid would reject Arsenal’s advances, and there’s really no suggestion Guler would reject them.
That deal could go through, and Darren Bent has warned Arsenal that, despite his exceptional talent, the Real Madrid player won’t fit in at Arsenal. He believes that, similar to his experience at Real Madrid in North London, he may struggle to establish himself within the team.
“He won’t fit the squad,” Bent said on TalkSPORT. “I think he’s a very good player; I saw him at the Euros—very talented. But will you swap one bench for another?
“At Real Madrid he’s not getting the opportunities. Coming to Arsenal, there are better options, be it out wide or in the No. 10 role.
“I can’t see that one happening. Good player, but not for Arsenal, no.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m also convinced moving for Guler in the winter transfer window just isn’t right.Given Ethan Nwaneri’s game-changing performance versus Forest on Saturday, who needs Arda Güler?
Surely we’d rather give Nwaneri more game time and actually sign a striker instead of bringing on board an obstacle for his progression.

I said the exact same thing in a different article. Nwanarei is showing real promise; quality performances, impacting games, a spark for the squad when he plays.
Why would you want to bring in a player that would reduce opportunities for Nwanarei?
We have a real talent in Nwanarei, we should be developing him, not developing another player loaned from another club.
I daresay it would be a stupid move, and it would deserve every bit of harsh criticism that arises.
Yes. Arsenal no. doubt need a stunning striker as Jesus and Harvert are always. playing below par. A deadly. striker is really needed during the January. window. to help push the campaign for the league cup to a success.

With Nwaneri Arsenal probably don’t need Guler but he’s very talented so should find no lack of suitors if Real Madrid want to loan him out.
The gaffer decision is guided by what makes Arsenal win,
I think another creative spark is needed, the gaffer needs to trust his kids more.
But the young Turkish International would have seen Odegaard transformation after leaving the cemetery of talents, Surely a call from the gaffer will be hard to ignore.
“cemetery of talents” – what nonsense.
Odegaard has certainly proved to be a great success at Arsenal, but you ignore the fact that since arriving in 2021, he’s got one trophy (the Community Shield). Over the same period, Real Madrid has won 10 trophies, including the Champions League twice. It seems that more than enough “talent” survived the cemetery to see them through Odegaard’s departure, doesn’t it.
As for Guler joining Arsenal, it’s possible but unlikely I would have thought for the reasons set out in the article.
Bertie!
Have you changed your name recently?
At the Bernabeu, talented youngsters enthusiasm and development wipes out briskly, their talents gets buried like a dead body in the graveyard.
A talented youngsters that knows his worth, wants to win by the sweat of his brow, not sure they wants to earn it by warming a bench
Rumours have it that no talented young player wants to sit on the bench, unless for mega money.
That cemetery might have shown it holds more than five better midfield talents than Ødegaard.
