Arsenal have stepped up their interest in Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler.
According to İdman.Biz, citing Fichajes, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes that Arda Guler possesses the ideal qualities for his team and is keen to see the player in his squad.
The source reports that following Arteta’s assessment, the London club are preparing an offer worth 80 million euros. The proposal is expected to include a loan move during the winter transfer window with a mandatory purchase option at the end of the season.
It is noted that Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso is not in favor of the transfer. Having given Arda Guler opportunities in all matches since the start of the season, Alonso is reportedly reluctant to approve the midfielder’s departure.
