Arsenal may have renewed prospects of signing Kenan Yildiz, as he plans to inform Juventus of his desire to join the Gunners. The young Turkish international has made a strong impression in Serie A, showing potential as a vibrant alternative to Vinicius Junior.

According to Indy Kaila, Yildiz is eager to make the switch to Arsenal, despite Juventus setting a hefty £120m asking price. This isn't the first mention of Yildiz in connection with Arsenal; Sky journalist Sacha Tavolieri previously labeled him as Mikel Arteta’s “dream target.” In a post, Tavolieri noted the Gunners’ intent to secure a key player for the left winger position, with plans to invest around €100M.

Additionally, The Athletic reported that Arsenal had previously inquired about the 21-year-old, only to be told he was not for sale. This development follows the recent news of Vinicius Jr. signing a new contract with Real Madrid, which may shift Arsenal's focus towards Yildiz.

While some Arsenal fans may prefer a more seasoned player, Yildiz's talent is hard to overlook. WhoScored highlights his strengths in dribbling, finishing, and key passes, indicating he has no significant weaknesses. In the 2025/26 season, Yildiz recorded 11 goals and nine assists, suggesting he could be a substantial upgrade over the inconsistent Gabriel Martinelli. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will prioritize this move or divert their attention to Bradley Barcola.
