Key stats
Güner contributed 28 goals and 12 assists to Gladbach's triumphant U17 campaign. The 5'9" talent hit five braces and a hat-trick along the way, whilst scooping the award for Best Player in the U17 Championship's Final Tournament to determine the title winner.
The former Schalke youngster has been rewarded with a place in the Gladbach U19s ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, in addition to that aforementioned call-up to the Argentina U17s, coached by ex-Bayer Leverkusen defender Diego Placente.
Plays a bit like: Michael Olise
A left-footed winger who favours the right-hand side, Güner's sparkling inside runs and neat finishes are straight out of the Michael Olise school of football wizardry.
Like the 2024/25 Bundesliga Rookie of the Season of Bayern Munich fame, Güner can also play on the left or through the middle.
Did you know?
Güner's father, Adalet, is sporting director of fourth-tier outfit Uerdingen.
Adalet was born in Türkiye, meaning young Armando is eligible to play for The Crescent Stars, as well as Argentina (maternal side) and Germany (his country of birth).
