Official: Real Madrid wonderkid named La Liga U-23 Player of the Month for December | OneFootball

Real Madrid teenage prodigy Arda Guler has been named the La Liga Under-23 Player of the Month for December.

The 19-year-old sensation has beaten off competition from the likes of Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Ilaix Moriba (Celta Vigo), Jon Aramburu (Real Sociedad) and Fabio Silva (Las Palmas) to clinch the award.

Guler, who has not always had it easy at Real Madrid, enjoyed a greater prominence under Carlo Ancelotti in the month of December.

The Turkish international kicked off the month with an impressive display in the second half during the 2-0 win over Getafe.

That was followed by an even better performance in the 3-0 win over Girona – a match in which he started and scored a magnificent goal.

Guler also shone brightly in the 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano, in which he provided two assists for Federico Valverde and Rodrygo.

Considering the month he has enjoyed in La Liga, it does not come as a surprise to see the 19-year-old Real Madrid gem be crowned the league’s Player of the Month for December.
