Arsenal among clubs interested in Kenan Yildiz | OneFootball

Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Kenan Yildiz, per La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Gunners need another left winger, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard failing to convince.

While Eberechi Eze has taken the mantle on the left flank, he is better in an attacking midfield role, and the Juventus starlet could be the solution.

Described by Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero as a ‘complete player’, Yildiz registered 12 goals and nine assists last season.

Yildiz has followed it up with two goals and four assists in eight appearances this term.

He reportedly has no intention of joining Arsenal yet, but talks to get him to renew his deal are dragging on, creating an opportunity for them.

Yildiz is on one of the lowest contracts at the club despite being one of the most influential players on the pitch.

The 20-year-old has asked for a decent pay rise, and Juventus was to resolve the issue to fend off Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona.

Semonyo is a better option for Arsenal

Arsenal may be better off shifting their focus from Yildiz to Antoine Semenyo.

The Ghanaian winger has been electric for Bournemouth, emerging as one of the Premier League’s most devastating wide forwards.

Semenyo’s blend of pace, power and productivity would bring a new dimension to Mikel Arteta’s side.

Unlike Yildiz, who is still refining his game in Serie A, Semenyo has proven himself in England’s top flight, hurting defenders with direct running and two-footed finishing.

Arsenal’s left flank has lacked an unpredictable spark for too long.

If sporting director Andrea Berta wants to keep Arsenal at the top, they should be looking at Semenyo as the missing piece to give Arteta the complete attacking balance he craves.
