Arsenal have set their sights on Juventus‘ young talent, Kenan Yildiz, as the Italian club’s financial woes open the door for a potential transfer.

Yildiz, a rising star in the football world, has piqued the interest of the Gunners, who are yet to place a formal offer but are considering doing so in the upcoming January transfer window.

Yildiz’s journey to the limelight began with his impressive performances for both Juventus and the Turkish national team. Despite being only 18, he has already made five appearances for Juventus’ first team and has been a standout in his early international outings.

His achievements include scoring a goal against Germany in a friendly and providing an assist in a European Qualifier against Wales.

Juventus, facing financial difficulties, have previously rejected loan offers for Yildiz.

However, they are now open to considering offers for the right price, especially given that they extended his contract until 2027. This development has heightened Arsenal‘s interest in strengthening their attack, making a potential deal for Yildiz more feasible.

Any potential transfer, however, hinges on several factors.

Juventus‘ financial situation might compel them to consider offers for Yildiz, but the price tag, estimated between €35-40 million, could deter Arsenal from making an immediate move.

Additionally, the player’s future could be influenced by his playing time in the coming weeks.

Yildiz, who has not featured in Juventus’ last four games, might reconsider his options if his playing time does not increase.
