Toni Kroos had high praise for Arda Güler, emphasizing that the young midfielder’s natural role is as a classic No. 10 — operating close to goal where his creativity can have the biggest impact. According to Kroos, Güler’s vision and ability to deliver decisive final passes make him most dangerous when positioned near the attackers rather than deeper in midfield.
The compliment carries extra weight coming from Kroos, one of the greatest midfield orchestrators of his generation. His assessment highlights what many fans already see in Güler: a rare technical talent with the intelligence, composure, and imagination to unlock defenses in tight spaces.
At just a young age, Güler has already shown flashes of brilliance with his elegant ball control, long-range shooting, and calm decision-making under pressure. Injuries slowed parts of his early development, but whenever he has been given opportunities, he has demonstrated why he is considered one of football’s brightest prospects.
Kroos calling him “a player for the future” reflects the growing belief that Güler could eventually become a central figure for both club and country. If developed patiently and used in the right role, he has the tools to evolve into one of the elite attacking midfielders of the next generation.
