Who is Arda Guler? 18-year-old 'Turkish Lionel Messi' linked with Arsenal £15m transfer

Fenerbahce wonderkid Arda Guler could be available for just £15million in the summer transfer window. Arsenal have been linked with the 18-year-old but the north London outfit face fierce competition from Serie A champions, Napoli, as well as Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain.

Mikel Arteta is in need of depth in wide areas and the midfield, and considering the versatile star is at the very beginning of his career, it could be a smart move for either club moving forward. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Guler has a €17.5million (£15million) release clause included in his current contract.

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.
