What happened. Mundo Deportivo reports that José Mourinho plans to build his Real Madrid side around Arda Güler in a creative role modelled on Mesut Özil.

Güler's combination play with Kylian Mbappé is a key factor.
Turkey's early World Cup exit gives Güler full pre-season with Mourinho.
Güler's role has fluctuated between right wing, interior, and deeper positions.

Mourinho has a full pre-season to test if Güler can deliver as a 'Özil 2.0'.
