Kenan Yildiz, a transfer target for Arsenal, is set to undergo surgery for a fractured fifth metatarsal in his left foot. Juventus, his current club, had resisted offers from Arsenal and now the injury will sideline Yildiz for approximately three months. The expected recovery time may push his potential return to late November, closer to the winter transfer window. This development effectively ends Arsenal's hopes of securing the winger before the summer transfer deadline.

- •Arsenal had interest in signing him this summer.
- •Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti confirmed the club's commitment to Yildiz.
