Arsenal advised to not sign Real Madrid player due to lack of fit in team.

The transfer rumor mill has been buzzing with talks of Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler potentially making a move to Arsenal. However, former England striker Darren Bent has some strong opinions about the matter. He believes that the Gunners should not pursue Guler, as he does not offer any significant improvement to their current midfield options.

Guler, who joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahce in 2023, has quickly established himself as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe. However, his playing time under Carlo Ancelotti has been limited, with only three starts this season. This has reportedly caused frustration for the 19-year-old, leading to Arsenal's interest in him.

According to Spanish publication Sport, Arsenal have already made contact with Guler's representatives to gauge his interest in a move to the Emirates. This situation has drawn comparisons to that of Arsenal's current captain Martin Odegaard, who also left Madrid in search of more playing time.

Despite recognizing Guler's potential, Bent, a lifelong Arsenal supporter, believes that the Gunners already have enough depth in Guler's position. On talkSPORT's Insider Gooners podcast, he gave Guler a rating of one out of five and stated that he would not be a good fit for Arsenal, as there are better options both out wide and in the No. 10 role. Bent believes that Guler would only be swapping one bench for another if he were to join Arsenal.

Guler's current contract with Real Madrid runs until 2029, and Ancelotti has recently addressed the media, stating that his priority is to turn the team's poor form around. He also mentioned that Guler, along with another young player Endrick, have been showing a lot of quality in training but that his focus is on improving the team's collective performance rather than giving individual players more minutes.

In the end, the question remains whether Guler would be a good signing for Arsenal. While there is no denying his talent, it seems that Bent and many others do not see the point in bringing him to the Emirates. Only time will tell if Arsenal will pursue Guler or if he will continue to fight for a starting spot at Real Madrid.
