Arsenal will now make an attempt to sign Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz | OneFootball

Arsenal will reportedly make an attempt to bring Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz to the North London club this summer.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants attacking reinforcements at the Emirates Stadium club as the Gunners plot a successful title defence next term.

The North Londoners have failed in a bid sign Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior and are moving on to other targets.

Yildiz has been on Arsenal’s radar for several months and they are planning to present a very high offer for the Turkey international.

The 21-year-old Gunners target, who has been tipped to win the Ballon d’Or in the future, is highly rated by Juve.

The Serie A club told suitors he was not for sale a few weeks ago.

However, it will not stop Arsenal from making a move to sign him this summer.

Yildiz was named the Serie A rising star of the season last term after ending the season with ten goals and six assists in 36 games.

He was at the World Cup with his country, featuring in all their three group games.

While he is primarily a left winger, Yildiz can also play through the middle and as a central midfielder.

He is an excellent dribbler who passes and finishes well, and it appears Arsenal are convinced he has what it takes to improve their squad.

They have signed Greek winger Christos Tzolis and could now look to strengthen in defence following the long-term injury to William Saliba.

A move for Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa could be on the cards, and signing a new centre-back could be of a higher priority to Arsenal right now.
