Pundit View: Tottenham could sign 'Fantastic' player in January thanks to Kylian Mbappe

Ian Darke believes Tottenham Hotspur should go all in on a loan move for Arda Guler if the Real Madrid youngster becomes available.

The 19-year-old is a reported target for Spurs in a January loan swoop [TBR Football, 22 October], having started just three of his club’s 11 La Liga contests this season.

The TNT Sports commentator, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, often covers Real in the Champions League and says the Turkish talent appears frustrated with his lack of game time under Carlo Ancelotti.

“Guler would be a fantastic pickup for Tottenham – he’s a very good young player. He just can’t get in the Real Madrid side because they’ve got Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Mbappe,” Darke explained.

“He shone at the Euros and he’ll be frustrated that he doesn’t get on the pitch very much at all. I see Real Madrid a lot. But whether they’d let him go in January, I’m not sure.

“Once they clinched the title last season they gave him a run of games, and he interestingly came up with a flurry of goals. If you’re talking about signing some class, he’s definitely that.”

Arda Guler to Tottenham considered “shrewd” move

Those who have publicly commented on Spurs’ potential of signing Guler have backed the idea as “shrewd”, especially on what would be a temporary deal until the end of the season which would suit Daniel Levy.

Guler could be viewed by Ange Postecoglou as another weapon to suit the team’s fluid attacking style of play, with the side having exhibited their philosophy once again on Sunday [3 November] against Aston Villa.

The teenager, who graduated from Fenerbahce’s academy, has already scooped 16 senior caps for his nation, scoring three goals including a memorable strike against Georgia at Euro 2024.
