Jermaine Jenas Amazed by ‘World-Class’ Tottenham Target Arda Guler at Euro 2024
Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a busy summer transfer window as manager Ange Postecoglou aims to reinforce the squad.
After guiding Spurs to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League and securing a spot in the Europa League, Postecoglou is keen to build on this progress and push for greater success in the 2024/25 season.
With Euro 2024 showcasing some of the continent’s top talents, Tottenham are actively scouting potential signings.
One player who has caught the attention of Tottenham and several other European giants is Real Madrid’s Arda Guler. Earlier this year, reports from Sport indicated that Spurs were considering a summer move for the 19-year-old Turkish sensation.
Since then, interest in Guler has surged, with clubs like Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan also reportedly in the hunt.
Arda Guler made a significant impact in his first game at Euro 2024, scoring a stunning goal to help Turkey secure a 3-1 victory over Georgia. Guler’s goal, a long-range effort into the top corner, showcased his talent on the biggest stage. BBC Sport pundit and former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas was full of praise for the youngster.
“It just opened up perfectly for him,” Jenas remarked on BBC One. “He’s on his left foot, he’s had a little look and said to the goalkeeper ‘pick that one out’. The 19-year-old is shining on the biggest stage in European football.”
Jenas continued to laud Guler’s performance, highlighting the goal’s quality and the player’s potential. “Georgia have definitely performed well but they have just been outdone at the minute by a world-class finish from a top youngster,” he added.
Arda Guler joined Real Madrid for £25 million, according to Goal.com. However, his initial months at the Bernabeu were plagued by injuries, delaying his impact. Despite these setbacks, Guler managed to feature more prominently towards the end of the last season, proving his worth to the club.
Real Madrid have made it clear that Guler is an integral part of their plans moving forward. His recent performances at Euro 2024 have only cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young talents.
Given Guler’s rising stock and Real Madrid’s intention to keep him, Tottenham face a formidable challenge in their pursuit of the Turkish midfielder. While Spurs have expressed strong interest and would greatly benefit from Guler’s creative prowess, convincing Los Blancos to part with their young star appears unlikely.

Tottenham Hotspur’s proactive approach in the transfer market underscores their ambition to build a competitive squad capable of challenging for top honors.
While the pursuit of Arda Guler might be complicated by his commitments to Real Madrid and his standout performances at Euro 2024, Spurs’ determination to strengthen their ranks remains undeterred.
Fans will be keenly watching as Tottenham navigates the transfer window, hoping for significant additions that can propel the club to new heights in the upcoming season.
