Arsenal considers Kenan Yildiz after missing on Vinicius Jr

Arsenal is exploring the possibility of signing Kenan Yildiz from Juventus as Mikel Arteta seeks to bolster his squad for the Champions League and Premier League. The club's intial focus was on Vinicius Jr., but the winger's decision to remain at Real Madrid has prompted a shift in transfer strategy. Arsenal may also revisit the idea of acquiring Jan Kroupi in January following his recent injury setback. Yildiz, a 21-year-old talent, is seen as a promising option, but negotiations could be complicated, especially with Juventus reportedly seeking over £60m. Additionally, discussions around potential outgoing transfers, including Gabriel Martinelli, may influence the deal.
