Arsenal is expected to be extremely busy this summer, and the high chances of their signatures could come from Laliga. And one player may follow the same path that Martin Odegaard did four years ago.
Arsenal is the long-term admiration for Aldagler, who made his first few seasons difficult for Real Madrid. With Carlo Ancelotti not loyal to his abilities, the 20-year-old is unlikely to appear when he faces off on Wednesday in the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals.
Guler has played 35 times for Real Madrid this season, but most of these looks come from the bench. However, he hasn’t played a minute in the Champions League knockout stage. This highlights his position at the Santiago Bernabeu. And that could mean he could transfer in the summer.

Former scout Mick Brown told Soccer Insider that Arsenal had scouted scouts all season.
“The Arsenal Scouts have seen him many times, and it reminds me of Odegard’s contract. He’s struggling with Real Madrid, but he could potentially be given a chance at Arsenal.
“I’ll hold on to this deal because I don’t think he’ll be the answer to Arsenal’s problems unless he’s enough for Real Madrid, so I’ll hold on to this deal, but he’s certainly what they’ve seen and what they can move if he’s available.
“But he’s certainly a bright talent, so I don’t think they’re the only ones they’re looking at.”
Arsenal would be a good fit to sign Goller given his good off-field relationship with Real Madrid, but they are expected to face competition with Man United.
