THE NET MESUT OZIL? Ilkay Gundogan’s glowing comparison to Mesut Ozil has heightened the anticipation for Real Madrid star Arda Guler’s promising future at Los Blancos.
Ilkay Gundogan, a midfielder for Barcelona, said that Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler was a lot like Mesut Ozil.
Real Madrid bought Guler from Fenerbahce in the summer for €20m (£17m/$22m), plus up to €10m in add-ons. This was a lot more than his rumored €17.5m (£15m/$19m) release fee, which was paid to get him before Barcelona, who are bitter rivals. Another Real Madrid player, Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric, has called the young player a future star. Now, Gundogan has compared him to Ozil, who used to be a fan favorite at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Gundogan told the Turkish news source AA SPOR, “Guler went to Real Madrid; he is a very good football player.” From what Rudiger and I talked about, he really likes Arda. He did have health problems, and he couldn’t start the season because of injuries. But he has a lot of skills. Ozil agreed too. This is the first name of a Turkish football player who looks a lot like Mesut Ozil. I think he will do well in life.
