Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler says he's happy in Spain.

Guler has battled for regular minutes, but insists he's learning from those around him.

He told Sportskafa: "I can't call Kroos or Modric by their name, I feel like I'm insulting them. I call Toni brother and Luka, brother, that's why they started calling me brother too.

"I could have stayed at Fenerbahe for one more year, but I wanted to show the world what a young Turk could do in Europe, I hope to continue showing.

"They call me Abi all the time. I'm also surprised when Luka calls me Abi. Interesting because they don't know what Abi means (in Turkish it means brother)."
