Arsenal are keen on attempting to ‘repeat’ the operation which saw Martin Odegaard join the Gunners on loan from Real Madrid in 2021, according to reports.
The north London club have had a shaky start to the new Premier League season with Arsenal winning just five of their first 11 matches.
Arteta’s fourth-placed side are now nine points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool with the Reds making a fast start to the new season, while defending champions Man City are four points ahead in second.
Arsenal have not won in their last four Premier League matches as they struggle to stay in the title race and now there are rumours about who Mikel Arteta could bring in to improve his side.
The Gunners have only been able to call upon captain Odegaard for four Premier League matches this season and they are looking for some cover for the Norwegian.
And reports in Spain claim that Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Guler ‘could join’ Arsenal in January as the Turkey international continues to get frustrated about his game time.
The Premier League side ‘want to repeat what they did with’ Odegaard in 2021 with Guler after Arsenal brought the Norway international in initially on loan before making the deal permanent six months later for around €40m.
Guler, who starred at Euro 2024 for Turkey, is ‘seeing his talents remain on the back burner due to the lack of opportunities under the management of Carlo Ancelotti’.
