Guler wins praise from Real Madrid veterans Modric and Kroos

Real Madrid veterans Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are full of praise for Arda Guler.

The teenage summer arrival has returned to training this week after suffering a preseason knee injury.

“Guler is a great kid with extraordinary talent. It's a shame that because of injury he hasn't had the chance to show the Real Madrid fans that," Modric said.

“He's got a great career ahead of him and he will give a lot of happiness to the Madrid fans. They should let him be Arda Guler and they shouldn't pressure him or compare him with anybody – not even with me."

Kroos also said: “He's got a great talent for his age, he's got a very, very nice left foot… he's got a great shot on his left, he's very good technically, especially in small spaces. I think it's a good and a smart signing, especially looking to the future."
