Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are all reportedly interested in the same player heading into the January transfer window.
The Gunners are heading into the international break at the top of the Premier League table, hoping to extend their lead at the top with a win against Sunderland on Saturday. If they do beat the Black Cats, Arsenal could go into the break with a nine point lead at the top of the table.

Arsenal are the clear favourites at the moment to win the title, however, they do have injury problems, especially in attack. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have missed the whole season virtually, and aren’t due back until at least early December.
Meanwhile, Viktor Gyokeres suffered an injury recently, which is worse than feared, so the Gunners will potentially look to add another attacker in the January transfer window to help cover.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool told Yildiz move is “possible”
Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz has been subject to transfer interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, as the 20-year-old is yet to sign a new contract with the Italian club. So far this season, the Turkish international has scored three goals, and provided four assists in 13 matches.
According to TeamTalk, talks are ongoing between Juventus and Yildiz over a new long-term contract as a way of fending off transfer interest from Premier League clubs. However, the same report says that a move to Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea is still “possible” despite the contract discussions.
It is understood that there is somewhat of a stand off between Yildiz and Juventus, as his current wage bill doesn’t match a player of his calibre. The Premier League teams will likely be able yo offer him more money, and the lure of potentially winning a league title and a Champions League.
If he were to join Arsenal, Yildiz wouldn’t only be a great addition for this season, but due to him being just 20, he could be a valuable asset for many years to come. It isn’t understood how much he would cost, but Yildiz’s current market value stands at around £66m.
