Arsenal target Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz in €100m summer deal
Premier League champions Arsenal are preparing a €100m move to sign Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad.
The Gunners secured the domestic title last season and narrowly missed out on Champions League glory.
Manager Mikel Arteta has now identified the left-wing position as a crucial area for further reinforcement.
The Spanish coach reportedly considers the Turkish international to be his primary transfer target.
Gunners plan major investment
Securing the highly-rated attacker will require significant financial resources.
The 21-year-old recently signed a new lucrative contract with the Serie A giants, placing them in a strong negotiating position.
Reports suggest the North London club are willing to sanction a massive €100m bid to bring the forward to the Emirates Stadium.
Should the pursuit fail, Arsenal have reportedly identified Christos Tzolis as an alternative option.
Stellar season in Turin
The exciting talent enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Italy, registering 11 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.
Those impressive performances helped to elevate the young attacker into a vital role for the Old Lady during a challenging domestic season.
His form has been highly praised by prominent figures within the Italian game.
“He’s an alien, not a normal footballer. Every now and then he does something wrong just to see if he can fit into normality, but he can’t.”
That glowing assessment from Luciano Spalletti highlights exactly why Europe’s elite clubs are circling.
International duty delays talks
Advanced negotiations remain on hold while the coveted attacker represents Türkiye at the World Cup.
The newly crowned English champions possess the financial capability to conclude the deal once the tournament ends.
Arteta is also closely monitoring the striker market amid growing speculation regarding Gabriel Jesus’ future at the club.
