Arsenal is setting its sights on Baris Alper Yilmaz, the Galatasaray attacker, as a potential signing at the end of the season. The 25-year-old Turkish international has showcased impressive form this season, contributing 12 goals and assists.

A report from Sabah reveals that Arsenal’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, personally scouted Yilmaz during the intense Derby clash between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Berta has been monitoring the attacker closely and holds him in high regard.

As Arsenal looks to enhance their attacking options, they could benefit from Yilmaz’s arrival, especially considering the underwhelming performances from players like Noni Madueke and the potential departures of others like Leandro Trossard this summer.

However, securing Yilmaz might come with a hefty price tag of around €50 million. The club needs to bolster its attacking unit, and it remains uncertain if they are willing to invest significantly in the Turkish international.

For Yilmaz, the prospect of joining Arsenal represents a significant career advancement, offering the chance to compete for major trophies in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. As he approaches the peak years of his career, he possesses the technical skills to excel in England.

Yilmaz is known for his versatility, able to play on either flank, which would enable him to create scoring opportunities for his teammates while also contributing defensively by supporting fullbacks. His potential impact at Arsenal could be substantial as they aim for success in the upcoming season.
