Xabi was keen on this player when he was coaching Leverkusen, and now he has secured him at Madrid without any hassle. This move will undoubtedly be maximized to help Xabi bring out the best in Arda.

Previously, Arda did indeed have great potential, but under Ancelotti, he rarely got regular playing time, which did hinder his performance. However, under Xabi now, it seems Xabi wants to continue exploring Arda's potential to make a bigger contribution to the club.
In the first two matches, he started as a starter, but the point I want to highlight is that he always plays different roles due to his high flexibility as a player. He was quite skilled as an attacking midfielder in the first match, in the second match he was deployed as a second striker, and he usually plays as a winger, so it is clear that Xabi wants this player to develop rapidly now.
