Arsenal are looking to sign a left-winger this summer, with Kenan Yildiz among their targets.
The 21-year-old Turkish international has been a special player for Juventus and is considered one of the best young attacking players in the world. He has all the ingredients to develop into a superstar and Arsenal want to sign him.
Yildiz has been compared to legends like Alessandro Del Piero and Michael Laudrup.
According to a report in The Athletic, Arsenal have already made inquiries about signing the Juventus attacker, but have been told he is not for sale. They are currently considering other possible options.
Last season, they used Leandro Trossard as a left winger, but they need to introduce upgrades. The Belgian will be of great use to them, but Arsenal need to aim higher if they want to dominate English football. They have Gabriel Martinelli at their disposal, but the Brazilian is very unstable.
It will be interesting to see if they can sign a quality wide player in the coming weeks. Yildiz contributed 21 goals last season.
Meanwhile, Yildiz has all the tools to develop into a future superstar, so it’s no wonder top clubs are interested in him. Any club wishing to sign the player will likely have to pay significantly more than the odds in the near future.
Juventus wouldn’t want to lose a player like him. They have not been able to compete for big trophies in recent years, but they will feel that the Turkish international can return to the top of Italian football.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to bring the attacker back in the future.
