Transfer negotiations are reportedly ongoing between Arsenal and Real Madrid over Guler Arda, the highly-rated midfielder. The clubs are believed to be some way apart on valuation, but dialogue is open as they look to strike a deal ahead of the run-in. Unconfirmed reports suggest both sides are hopeful of finding a resolution in the coming days - with other interested clubs said to be circling. Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool remain in the background, but for now, Arsenal are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far this season, Arsenal are steady at both ends (1.91 goals scored per game, 0.79 goals conceded per game). The role for Guler Arda would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Real Madrid are said to be exploring Pape Matar Sarr, Johan Manzambi and Jurrien Timber with Arsenal likewise connected to Joaquin Seys, Ibrahim Maza and Andrea Cambiaso.
