Elche head coach Eder Sarabia has late this week named his personal favourite member of Real Madrid’s squad.
This comes as his squad prepare to play host to the La Liga leaders this weekend.
Amid what has been a solid return to the top-flight of Spanish football for Elche to date, the Franjiverdes on Sunday face their latest high-profile test.
A meeting with Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid lies in wait, at The Estadio Martínez Valero.
On the eve of the fixture, the aforementioned Eder Sarabia therefore sat down for an interview with Diario AS.
During as much, the Spanish tactician was drawn on a whole host of topics surrounding his side’s upcoming opponents.
And one particular response has since turned heads in Spain’s capital.
This comes with Sarabia having not been shy in highlighting Arda Güler as his ‘favourite’ Blancos player:
”Starting with the goalkeeper, who I hope won’t be the standout player as he has been lately, Mbappé is certainly the player to watch out for because of his clinical finishing, but they’re all excellent. Vinícius seems incredible to me. As for a favourite… Arda Güller seems like a phenomenal player.”
