Arda Güler is the newest bright diamond of Turkish football. The young footballer (25/02/2005) started playing football in his hometown academy team Gençlerbirliği and was early transferred to Fenerbache when he was just 14 years old. In August 2021 he made his professional debut playing european competition against HJK, and started being part of the first team squad, until gaining a permanent spot in the first team squad due to his high level performances, becoming nowadays a key element in the Turkish system.
Güler is a versatil attacker, starting predominantly as an attacking midfielder. His attributes allow him to adopt different roles, being also able to play as central midfielder or next to the side line as an unpredictable winger. Guler stands out for his high quality technique, ball dominance, fantasy and influence in the last third.
Arda Güler prefers to perform as an attacking midfielder having freedom to move independently on the pitch. His elevated game lecture and tactical awareness allow him to detect dangerous spots between lines, where he becomes more dangerous and decisive due to his great vision and ability to filter killer passes. Güler is the kind of midfielder that likes to have the ball on his feet and orchestrate the attacking actions, selecting and dynamising the tempo, tending to always look forward and progress in possession of the ball. Technically he is gifted to achieve that, as he possesses huge and close ball control, being a good press resistant player, high accuracy in all range of passes and a powerful ball conduction. His characteristics allow him to adapt into many styles of playing, predominating a combinative style, but able to play in transition and open space football.
He is a special and fantasy player in the last metters. Güler possesses a great range of skills to open up rivals' defensive systems. Apart from passing, he possesses good dribbling, that added to his low center of gravity, fast direction shifts and pace make him an unpredictable and unbalancing player. It has been also common during this season to see him come to receive wide, trying to isolate defenders and challenge them in 1vs1 situations, to later look for a crossing or pinpoint pass to the back of the defense. Another remarkable aspect of Arda Güler is his outstanding ball striking ability. He is responsible for taking a huge amount of set-pieces, providing high quality balls to the penalty area, and also demonstrates a great ambidexterity, having a quality weak foot.
While it is clear that Güler plays an indispensable role in the attacking phase of his team, his defensive contribution should be improved in order to complete his good midfielder profile. Despite having a good work rate and game lecture, he lacks a bit of aggressiveness, which makes him not be successful in ground and aerial duels. In that sense, his physical structure and strength may be a key factor to improve, in order to be more dominant in duels and defensive incisiveness. His positioning in the defensive phase would also be an interesting aspect to improve, covering more space and helping his team to be more compact.
Arda Güler seems to have what it takes to become a top player in the future. He is a key and decisive player, gifted with high quality and determination, who will surely compete among the best players of the sport if he gets to reach all his potential.
