Arsenal considers signing Kenan Yildiz from Juventus this summer
Summary

Arsenal is reportedly exploring a transfer for Kenan Yildiz from Juventus as Mikel Arteta refines his plans for the upcoming season. The club's initial target, Vinicius Jr, opted to remain at Real Madrid, prompting a reevaluation of their strategy. At 21, Yildiz is seen as a blend of immediate talent and long-term potential, but Juventus has set a high asking price of over £60 million. Arsenal is also weighing squad balance and may delay major moves until January or next summer. Arteta is keen on enhancing the left side of his attack ahead of challenges in both the Premier League and Champions League.
