Real Madrid summer signing, Arda Guler has been winning hearts on and off the pitch despite not making his debut for the Spanish giants since joining the club.

Real Madrid beat arch-rivals Barcelona to the signature of the 18-year-old Turkish talent who has been dubbed the next ‘Lionel Messi’ due to his special skill set.

According to 90MIN, Toni Kroos is the latest Madridista to speak highly of Guler, as the German midfielder hailed Real Madrid’s latest signing as very 'talented and intelligent'.

"It must be said that he has a great talent for his age. He has a very, very fine left foot. And he will bring it out many times.
He has a great shot with his left foot; he is very good technically, especially in small spaces. I think he is a pretty good and intelligent signing, especially for the future."

Guler has been impressive in training since joining Real Madrid this summer but has recently suffered a knock, which has ruled him out from making his debut for the Spanish giants in pre-season.

Guler to debut against Barcelona

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Real Madrid are convinced new summer signing, Arda Guler will be fit enough to make his first appearance for the club in their El Clasico clash against Barcelona, AS Soccer reports.

Guler and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois have so far failed to play a single minute of Real Madrid’s pre-season tour of the USA, missing both games against AC Milan and Manchester United.

Carlo Ancelotti is, however, confident that both players will play some part against Barcelona and their final game against Juventus before returning to Spain for the start of the 2023/24 La Liga season.

Antonio Rudiger bullies Arda Guler

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Antonio Rudiger is known for his hilarious antics during matches and in training. The Real Madrid defender is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the best players in the world.

In Madrid's training in the USA, the German center-back was seen fighting for the ball with new signing, Turking youngster, Arda Guler.

In a video posted on Twitter, it shows Rudiger vigorously charging at the 18-year-old wonderkid Guler as he receives a pass. Although Guler manages to evade him briefly, the towering center-back refuses to back down.
