Arda Guler highlighted Alfredo di Stefano at his Real Madrid presentation this week.
The Turkish teen has signed for Real from Fenerbahce.
Guler, at his presentation, said: “First of all, I'd like to remember Di Stéfano. This is the most important club in the world and I feel very happy and proud to be here. Many clubs have approached me, but Real Madrid was my preference. I want to bring all my football and talent to Real Madrid.
“I'm best in the centre of midfield. But it's not important because I want to earn my position. I want to be an offensive player and create goal scoring situations. The position is up to the coach. I play well in the centre and also on the right wing."
“There are a lot of good players. I'm ready to compete and I'm going to earn my position, I'm going to give it everything to earn my place at the club. I want to stay and play here. If I get a chance to play I will take it. I'm not contemplating any other possibility. I've been offered to play and that's what I'm going to do.
“Real Madrid have a great legacy. Cristiano Ronaldo, Özil, Zidane, Guti. They are legends and I want to form part of this history."
