Arsenal are reportedly interested in a move for Kenan Yildiz in the summer and remain hopeful of beating rivals Manchester City and Chelsea.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal are reportedly hopeful of landing Kenan Yildiz in the summer. There’s a good level of competition for the Turkish international who carries a price tag of over €90 million, as Juventus could consider a sale if the offers presented exceed the asking rate.
Kenan Yildiz has proved a big point despite still being in the younger age bracket. Juventus landed the Turkish gem, and he has taken no time to become a key attacking star in Turin, which has begun attracting the attention of top clubs, mostly from the Premier League.
Yildiz possesses the versatility of playing in different positions, which has allowed Juventus managers to use him in different roles. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is a huge fan of players with such qualities and will be in the market to secure the services of stars like the Turkish star.
Juventus for their part are aware of the growing interest in the Turkish attacking talent and have placed a price tag in excess of €90 million. The likelihood of anyone paying that kind of money for Yildiz remains doubtful, but he does represent someone who can benefit any team in the long run.
Yildiz is reportedly committed to Juventus despite links to Arsenal and other sides, although the report states Arteta might prioritise a move for the young star. The Gunners are hopeful of beating competition from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City to land the €90 million-rated Serie A wonderkid in the summer.
Can Arsenal sign Kenan Yildiz?
Arsenal are one of the premier sides in the world and have the chance to land any player. However, their priority heading into the summer is to bring in a notable centre-forward name to shore up their attack. In the Yildiz case, other clubs are competing with Chelsea one of those ready to make an offer for the right terms and bring him for their project.
The €90 million-rated Serie A wonderkid also has the attention of Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola thought to be a big fan of the Turkish international. Yet, the big question will be whether either of these teams are willing to pay the €90 million fee or more required to land Yildiz, as Arsenal will certainly focus most of their money on a striker.
