Newcastle: Arda Guler could be Howe’s own Salah
The prodigious Turkish winger could become a world-class star at St. James’s Park…
Newcastle United is interested in signing Fenerbahce winger Arda Guler this summer as manager Eddie Howe targets first-rate talent to bolster his newfound Premier League force.
What’s the latest on Arda Guler to Newcastle?
That’s according to outlet Turkish Football, who state that the Magpies – alongside Arsenal – are leading the race for 18-year-old prodigy Guler, who has enjoyed a tremendous breakout season in his homeland.
While his outfit is reluctant to sell one of their most coveted assets so early into his emergence, bids in excess of £25m are believed to be enough to warrant a departure.
Having qualified for the Champions League this season, the Toon are now in a fantastic position to consolidate their newfound power with superlative signings, and in Guler Howe would find one of the brightest gems in all of football.
Who is Arda Guler?
Having risen to the fore this term, Guler has indeed cemented himself as his country’s shining prospect, having six goals and six assists apiece from just 16 starts across all competitions.
He has already found praise from high places, with Fatih Karagumruk manager Andrea Pirlo a stout believer that the teenager could blossom into one of the very best.
“Arda Guler is a very talented player,” said the Italian World Cup champion. “He has the potential to play anywhere in the world. He has quality, he can read the game well, and he has great technique. If he keeps developing his game, there is no limit to his potential.”
