Arsenal learn price tag to sign Kenan Yildiz
Arsenal have been made aware of how much they will have to pay to sign Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz.
After purchasing Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres, and Eberechi Eze this summer, the Gunners currently have a well-stocked attacking department. Apart from the trio, they also have Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Max Dowman as options.
Still, it has recently been reported that Arsenal are willing to buy a new forward with Yildiz on their radar. They have even made contact with the player to persuade him to join.
The North London club’s interest in the Juventus star has started growing following his eye-catching performances early in this season, scoring two goals and registering four assists in five appearances across all competitions.
Now, Italian outlet Tutto Juve report that Juventus ideally consider Yildiz as unsellable; however, if they are forced to cash-in, they want a fee north of £87m with his existing deal set to run until 2029.
Although Arsenal are well-stocked in the attack, Jesus has been struggling with fitness problems over the last few years. On the other hand, Havertz has sustained two serious injuries in recent times; as a result, he hasn’t been able to serve the club properly for almost a year.
Yildiz to Arsenal
Additionally, Madueke has sustained a knee injury and is set to remain sidelined over the next two months. Dowman is still just 15 and isn’t ready to play regularly at the highest level yet.
Furthermore, Martinelli and Trossard have displayed inconsistent performances in recent times, and they were linked with a move away in the summer window.
Therefore, Mikel Arteta is seemingly planning to sign a new forward. The Spanish boss likes having versatile players, so Arsenal have identified Yildiz as a serious target.
He is comfortable playing on the left flank and in the creative midfield position. The Turkish international showcased glimpses of his rich potential last term but has taken his game to a different level this season.
The 20-year-old is a top-class player and would be a great coup for the North London club should they eventually manage to lure him away from Allianz Stadium next year.
