Arsenal is interested in signing Juventus attacker Kenan Ildis at the end of the season.
The 19-year-old Turkish International has done very well on Italian outfits, and he has eight goals and five assists in his name at all competitions.
He was able to improve further with his coaching and experience, and he was able to grow into a key player at Arsenal. The gunners were doing well to groom the talented young players and were able to play an important role in the development of Juventus’ attackers.
According to a report by Fichajes, Chelsea and Manchester City also keep tabs on players. He will cost around 90 million euros this summer, and it remains to be seen if Arsenal is ready to pay for him.
The players are also linked to Liverpool.
Arsenal needs Kenan Ildis
It’s no secret that they need quality attackers in the summer. They were unable to properly spin Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka because of the lack of depth on the sides.
Mikel Arteta prioritizes signatures of quality attackers who can take on defenders and beat them in one-on-one situations. Yildiz was an impressive dribbler and was able to add a new dimension to his Arsenal offense. He can also score goals. Yildiz has been praised as “decisive” by Igor Tudor.
Traveling to Arsenal might be attractive
Participating in Arsenal can be an exciting opportunity for players. Yildiz will play for one of the largest clubs in the world. Arsenal is promoting the Premier League title and the Champions League and has ambitious projects.
It will be interesting to see if they can convince the 19-year-old attacker to join the club in the summer. They have a finances to pay him 90 million euros. The asking price may seem like a premium now, but Turkish attackers can justify future investments.
Meanwhile, Chelsea could also use dynamic attackers like him. Mykhailo Mudryk is extremely overwhelming and Chelsea need a replacement. Yildiz will be a solid long-term investment for them. If they want to fight for a major trophy, they need more depth to the side. They have been overreliant on Cole Palmer for goals and creativity.
