Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has praised the progress of the club’s Turkish midfielder Arda Guler, reports Idman.Biz.
“Arda is improving in every aspect; he’s only 20 years old. With his age and quality, we need to guide him — he must continue developing his decision-making and pressing, but he already has many great attributes. He gives real meaning to our game. When he plays, our team dynamics improve. I’m very pleased with his progress, but we expect even more. Wirtz at Bayer was the same — young, but already a great player. Arda is still in progress, but at a very high level,” AS quotes Alonso as saying.
This season, Guler has made 18 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing seven assists.
The Turkish midfielder’s current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €60 million.
