Overview

• Reports from Football Insider and Just Arsenal say Arsenal are set to end their pursuit after Guler’s elevated status at Madrid.
• Arsenal’s summer attempts to land the Turkey international were unsuccessful, according to the Inside Track podcast.
• Since Alonso took charge, Guler has earned regular minutes and produced two goals and one assist in six appearances this season.
• With Madrid viewed as unwilling to sell, Arsenal are expected to shift attention to alternative targets before the next window.
• Mikel Arteta has added attacking depth, including the signing of Noni Madueke, which reduces urgency to recruit Guler now.
