On Wednesday, we covered claims from Italy that Arsenal have Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz on their agenda. It was stated he’s valued between €80-100m.
The attacking midfielder has two goals and four assists from five games this season, after impressing last season. He’s been one of the standout players for the Serie A side and his performances haven’t gone unnoticed.
Radio Radio focuses on Arsenal’s interest in the 20-year-old and their plan to try and sign him.
In the summer window, the Gunners invested to strengthen their attack but are still keen on snatching the Turkey international from the Turin club as the north London club are ‘crazy’ about him.
It’s claimed Mikel Arteta’s side have initiated discussions, without specifying whether it’s with his camp, Juve or both, and are ready to tempt the Old Lady with a specific offer.
According to the report, Arsenal are ready to offer a ‘significant’ sum of €60m and include Leandro Trossard as part of the deal.
The option of having the Belgium international could be useful for Juve, but he’ll turn 31 years of age in December while Yildiz, 20, has a long future ahead of him.
It would be difficult for the Italian club to accept it, especially considering their desire is to retain Yildiz and extend his contract until 2030.
In recent weeks, the Italian media have covered Arsenal wanting Yildiz and whether their interest is genuine or if they are being used in contract negotiations with Juventus remains to be seen.
