Toni Kroos has been impressed by new Real Madrid teammate Arda Guler.

The signing from Fenerbahce has caught the eye in preseason training as he awaits his debut.

“It has to be said that he has great talent for his age. He has an excellent left foot," Kroos said on his podcast. "which I'm sure he will use to great effect. He has a great shot, he is very good technically, especially working within small spaces. I think he's a pretty good and smart signing, especially for the future.

“He definitely brings a lot and that will help him to being successful here. He's very keen.

"But on the other hand, you also have to be a little careful with so many expectations placed on young players. We've seen it happen with other players who unfortunately didn't live up to their promise. And especially in this club, there are other issues that determine whether someone is successful or not. It's not just about having talent, technique or shooting ability."
