Cucurella: The best player at Real Madrid is Arda Güler

Real Madrid's Spanish player Marc Cucurella chose Arda Güler when asked about the best player in the squad on COPE radio's El Partidazo programme. Although Cucurella said names such as Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Thibaut Courtois could also be chosen, he gave his vote to Arda Güler.

Saying he felt the contribution Arda Güler makes to the team's play was not discussed enough, Cucurella spoke with praise about the quality of the young Turkish player and his influence on the pitch. The Spanish player, stressing in particular his contribution to passing links, said: "When he is on the pitch, the team plays better." Cucurella said that since Arda Güler became involved in the game, the team's passing combinations had become more coordinated, and that the young star was the player who surprised him most.
