Arsenal may not wait until the end of the season to make its move for Kenan Yildiz, who remains one of the club’s most wanted targets.
The Turkish star has been in excellent form for Juventus over the last few seasons and continues to prove that he is one of the best young players in European football. His performances have attracted interest from several major clubs.
Arsenal knows that waiting until the summer could lead to a fierce transfer battle. The Gunners are therefore considering making their move during the January transfer window.
Arsenal plans January move
Give Me Sport says Yildiz is expected to be Arsenal’s main target in the next window as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the second half of the campaign.
Christos Tzolis was the only left winger Arsenal signed during the summer, despite the departures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. The Gunners are therefore expected to continue searching for attacking reinforcements.
Yildiz could be the player Arsenal wants to add, although Juventus is unlikely to allow him to leave easily. The Bianconeri regard him as a key player and have shown little willingness to sell him.

Yildiz could transform Arsenal
If Arsenal manages to sign Yildiz, the move could give the club an important boost during the second half of the season. His versatility and attacking quality would provide another option on the left side of the team.
The Gunners are competing closely with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League during the early part of the campaign. Although there is still considerable time remaining, adding Yildiz could strengthen Arsenal’s title challenge.
A move in January would also allow Arsenal to act before more clubs enter the race during the summer. Juventus’s position means that the Gunners may need to make a substantial offer, but they believe Yildiz would justify the investment.
For now, Arsenal will continue to assess the situation. If the club decides to act quickly, Yildiz could become the central target of its January transfer plans.
