Arda Güler has been heavily linked with AC Milan over the last few days, with the imminent departure of Sandro Tonali fueling the rumours. Mesut Özil believes the playmaker could become better than him.
Milan are looking for a playmaker/right-winger to replace Brahim Diaz, who officially has returned to Real Madrid. Daichi Kamada is set to join for the No.10 role but the Rossoneri could also bring in Güler, with more focus on the right flank.
Last night, L’Equipe reported that the Rossoneri are ahead of the competition when it comes to the 18-year-old. Speaking to Marca, as cited by The Madrid Zone, the former German player with Turkish roots Mesut Özil praised Güler.
“Is there a number 10 better than me? I can think of a name, I have a brother that I believe in, may God protect him: his name is Arda Güler,” he stated.
Özil was also a teammate of Güler during his time at Fenerbahce, meaning he’s seen plenty of what the youngster is capable of. It remains to be seen if Milan can beat the competition and secure his arrival.
