Ozil Warns Turkish Wonderkid Guler Against Move To Arsenal

The Gunners are monitoring the 18-year-old Fenerbahce ace, who is also attracting attention from Barcelona.

The Premier League club has already signed Kai Havertz and is close to finalizing deals for Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber from West Ham and Ajax respectively.

It is gathered that they are also keen on Guler, who’s been labeled the ‘Turkish Messi’ after his impressive displays for Fenerbahce in the last couple of seasons, with reports claiming they ‘started the process’ to sign the teenager over a year ago.

The report adds that Ozil is also keen on Guler to think more about game time at this stage of his career.

Meanwhile, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has already confirmed that the La Liga champions have opened talks regarding a deal for Guler, whilst the club’s new sporting director Deco traveled to Istanbul for discussions.

“He is a very young player, it is true that our scouts have been following him for a long time and many big clubs in Europe want him. We are talking to Fenerbahce,” Laporta said.

And according to Turkish outlet Hurriyet, Guler is set to meet with Fenerbahce president Ali Koc and coach Ismail Kartal on Monday to discuss his future, ahead of a possible meeting with Real Madrid ambassador Roberto Carlos.
