Arsenal’s pursuit of Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz could face serious competition, with Liverpool now said to be eyeing the Turkish international.

Reports from TeamTalk reveal that the Gunners have followed the 20-year-old’s progress closely for several months, viewing him as a strong attacking option for the future.

Yildiz has continued to impress in Serie A since breaking into Juventus’s first team last season.

His versatility makes him an appealing option, as he can feature on either wing or operate through the middle.

This season, he has scored three goals and assisted four times in 13 appearances across all competitions, highlighting his steady development and growing importance to the side.

Despite his growing role, reports suggest that Yildiz is uncertain about his long-term future in Turin.

He currently earns around £25,000 per week and is believed to be pushing for an improved deal, as per the report.

Juventus are in talks to extend his stay until 2030, but no agreement has yet been finalised.

According to TeamTalk, Arsenal are monitoring the situation closely and may look to take advantage if negotiations stall.

Mikel Arteta’s side have been keen to add more attacking depth, and Yildiz’s potential and technical quality fit the club’s recruitment strategy.

However, the Gunners face competition as the report says Liverpool and Chelsea are also showing a keen interest in the attacker.

Therefore, Arsenal will need to move quickly if they intend to make their interest count.

Yildiz’ creativity, balance, and calmness in front of goal have made him one of the standout young players in Italy’s top flight.

According to Transfermarkt, the Turkish international is currently valued at around £66 million, reflecting his rising profile and importance to Juventus.

For now, Juventus remain hopeful of securing a new long-term deal for their young star.

However, should talks break down, several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, will be ready to make their move.
