According to sources via TeamTalk, Arsenal are prepared to outbid Manchester United and Liverpool with a £34 million bid to recruit Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz.
Some of the most influential teams in England have taken notice of the 18-year-old, who has emerged as one of the most promising talents in Italian football.
Yildiz is reportedly a target for Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window, and Man Utd are also keeping a close check on his status as INEOS are ready to make major squad changes at the end of the season, according to TeamTalk.
But it appears like Arsenal want to recruit the young attacker before their Premier League rivals, as TeamTalk claims that the Gunners are “ready to offer” £34 million to get the player. The information comes from Turkish source Aksam.
Though it’s unclear if Arsenal can overcome United and Liverpool to capture Yildiz, he would be a great acquisition.
This season, he has scored five goals in all competitions. Playing for a stronger side would probably help his output, and he has the potential to become one of the best attackers in the Premier League.
The young player may find it difficult to resist the allure of joining teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool if he decides to leave Turin this summer.
More attack depth is required at United. Yildiz may provide cover in wide areas and split the goal scoring load with Rasmus Hojlund in the next season.
It will be fascinating to watch how this plays out in the upcoming months, but it appears like Arsenal are attempting to beat off Man Utd and Liverpool in the summer transfer window for Yildiz.
