Multiple reports in England suggest that Arsenal have been meeting with agent Jorge Mendes to discuss Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz, also targeted by Chelsea and Manchester United.
According to Indykalia, Caught Offside and more, Jorge Mendes was spotted in Turin speaking with representatives of Arsenal, and the subject of their discussion was believed to be the versatile Juventus striker.
They would be the third Premier League giants to be linked with a potential summer 2026 swoop for the player, after Manchester United and Chelsea, along with Real Madrid in LaLiga.
The Turkish forward only turned 20 in May and is already one of the core figures in the Juventus starting XI.
He has contributed six goals and six assists in 18 competitive games for the Bianconeri so far this season, including the FIFA Club World Cup.
Much has been said already about the delays in locking Kenan Yildiz down to a new contract, with director Giorgio Chiellini assuring there was no rush to get it over the line.
“Everyone wants to make it happen,” said the former defender.
The player only recently signed a new contract to June 2029, when he was also given the honour of wearing the Number 10 jersey, like his hero Alessandro Del Piero.
