Arsenal has identified Winger Kenan Ildis as the ideal transfer target for that location, sources close to the situation said Catch off side.
Yildiz finished the 2024/25 season with 10 goals and six assists in all club and country competitions, playing mainly on the left side, but sometimes on the center and right side.
Industry seniors are notifying us Catch off side That Arsenal is currently watching Yildiz due to the influence of Matteo Tognozzi.
Turkish International was discovered when Tognozzi was in Juventus and is currently planning to join Arsenal and work under new sports director Andrea Berta.
Kenan Ildis could be an alternative to Arsenal’s Nico Williams
Tognozzi was able to direct Arsenal towards Yildiz as an alternative to several other winger targets, causing problems in Nico Williams’ pursuit.
Sky Sports was one of the outlets to link Arsenal and Williams, sources say Catch off side The Spanish International’s wage demands could be too high.
One source with a link to the player’s aide said Catch off side: “Nico Williams has high pay demands. He wants around 18 million euros per season, a number that doesn’t fit Arsenal’s current wage structure. His release clause is 58 million euros, but due to the high demand for salary, Arsenal is investigating a variety of options.”
The same source said Yildiz was the person who appeared in the photo, but also emphasized that the 20-year-old was in discussions with Juventus about the new deal.
“The Arsenal value Yildiz is very high, but they would prefer to keep the total cost close to 60 million euros,” the source said. “At the same time, Juventus began discussing with Yildiz’s camp until 2030 to renew his contract.”
Kenan Yildiz costs 80 million euros
Two sources confirmed that Yildiz is likely to cost 80 million euros, but other numbers have a detailed understanding of Juventus’ stance that Serie A Giants doesn’t want to sell him at all.
I imagine that if this is a realistic deal for Arsenal it will soon become clear, but fans hope this exciting young talent can head to Emirates Stadium.
As the graphics above show, Yildiz isn’t necessarily ahead of Arsenal’s current left in all divisions, but that’s pretty close.
Yildiz is also much younger, so there is a possibility that he will improve further along with proper coaching and better players around him.
Arsenal tends to dominate the game and create more opportunities than Juventus, who was disappointed with much of last season, and Yildiz still stands out as a bright spark on their side.
Importantly, Yildiz is a more dribbler than Martinelli and Trossard, so when he comes into Arsenal it could pose a new kind of threat to his left flank.
