Turkish youngster Arda Güler’s situation at Real Madrid continues to generate transfer rumors. Recent reports suggest Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, previously interested before his move to Madrid, have joined Tottenham in the race for the midfielder according to Aksam.

Güler has played only 89 minutes in 4 matches for Real Madrid, prompting interest from other clubs.

The Express reports that Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen, potentially seeing an opportunity if Kylian Mbappé’s expected arrival disrupts Madrid’s squad.

Real Madrid seems have turned down all previous interest in the Turkish international however, it remains unclear if they’d consider permanent transfers, especially with Mbappé potentially joining.

Güler’s limited playing time at Real Madrid fuels transfer speculation but that has mainly been down to injuries.

Since recovering from injury the 18-year-old has seen himself integrated into the first team an gradually been given increased playing time.

It appears manager Carlo Ancelotti is slowly bringing him into the team but he is getting more minutes as the season has progressed.

Real Madrid face Rayo Vallecano in the league away from home on Sunday 18 February. Güler is fit and will be included in the squad and hopeful to get another La Liga appearance under his belt.

He made his home debut in the league for Real in the 4-0 victory versus Girona last week, helping his side win a spot kick which was subsequently missed.
