Mesut Ozil has offered advice to Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler.

Former Real and Arsenal star Ozil played with Guler at Fenerbahce.

He told Marca: “He was like my little brother when we both played for Fenerbahçe. Everyone knows his talent, so I don't want to praise him too much and put more pressure on him.

"His situation is not very easy to manage, especially when all the hopes of a country as fascinating as Turkey rest on him. He must be patient. His time will surely come. He is still very young.

"You can learn a lot in every training session and he has world-class players in front of him. Patience."
