Arsenal are said to be leading the race to sign Fenerbache wonderkid Arda Guler. The 18-year-old talent has been dubbed the 'Turkish Lionel Messi' after enjoying a breakthrough season - scoring six goals and providing seven assists in 35 appearances last term.
football.london understands Arsenal are prioritising a move for West Ham captain Declan Rice, whilst Moises Caicedo is also a target for the Gunners. However, a move for Guler could be sanctioned due to his versatility and ability at such a young age.
On April 10, 2022, Fenerbahce hosted Galatasaray and one banner stood out among all the rest inside the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. As cited by GOAL, it read: "Arda Guler: The Turkish Messi." The sign was held aloft by a 20-year-old fan who had travelled from London to be at one of the most passionate games anywhere in world football.
