Yildiz confirms Juventus transfer status amid Arsenal and Chelsea rumours | OneFootball

Juventus star Kenan Yildiz has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea, but the Turkish talent insists he’s happy with the Bianconeri.

Juventus striker Yildiz seems unwilling to leave Turin in the summer transfer window despite rumours linking him with Chelsea and Arsenal.

The exciting 20-year-old striker has taken on a central role since Igor Tudor was appointed to replace Thiago Motta in March and contributed to Juventus’ Champions League qualification in 2024-25.

“I play where the coach wants. I’m happy at the moment,” Yildiz told La Stampa via TMW.

Yildiz signed a contract extension less than a year ago, but Tuttosport recently reported that Juventus were ready to offer their talent another improved deal, knowing that some Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, would knock on his door this summer.

Yildiz also contributed to Juventus’ winning debut in the 2025 Club World Cup, scoring a goal in a 5-0 win over Al Ain on Wednesday.

“I’m happy with the win. We delivered an excellent performance after putting in considerable effort to prepare for this match. We must continue now,” noted Yildiz.

“It wasn’t an easy match; we take every opponent seriously.”

Yildiz is particularly attached to Juventus also because the club legend Alessandro Del Piero is his idol.

“I didn’t talk to him before the game, but we are always in touch,” concluded the Turkish starlet.
