Arsenal preparing massive swap deal for Juve starlet

Arsenal have been linked with a transfer move for Juventus starlet Kenan Yildiz. The Gunners are keen on adding the Turkish international forward to their squad in order to support the attack and see him as a worthy addition.

Kenan Yildiz’s impressive form with Juventus in the Serie A has not gone unnoticed. The 20-year-old has two goals and four assists in just five matches for the Turin-based club. His explosive nature makes him a threat to defenders, and he also possesses the ability to unlock cramped spaces on the pitch. Juventus are keen on holding onto Yildiz and consider him pivotal to plans this season and in the future.

Arsenal were active in the summer transfer period and utilised it to bolster their attacking department. The likes of Eberechi Eze, Victor Gyokeres, and Noni Madueke all arrived at the Emirates Stadium before the season started. However, Mikel Arteta does not seem content and will need a few more options up his sleeve.

The transfer gossip

According to a report published by Goal, Arsenal are ‘crazy’ about the prospect of signing the young prodigy. The conversations between Mikel Arteta and his backroom staff are all pointing in the correct direction. It remains unclear if Arsenal have started formal discussions with Juventus over a transfer.

The Gunners are preparing a transfer swap deal that would be valued at £52 million, and will see Leandro Trossard move the other way. Juventus might not be keen on the swap deal with Trossard, the Arsenal man turns 31 this December.

What is Juventus’ position on Kenan Yildiz?

The report further mentions that the Italian giants are confident of keeping a grip on Kenan Yildiz and consider him an integral part of the squad. Juventus are also holding talks with the young Turk over the signing of a new contract that would run until 2030.

It will be difficult for suitors like Arsenal to tempt Juventus into accepting an offer. £52 million, along with Leandro Trossard, could be a difficult decision for the Serie A club to decline. However, the club will reap the benefits in the form of stellar performances on the field of play in the long run.

Arsenal will, for the time being, have to keep their attention on the Newcastle United fixture in the Premier League. The Gunners have started the season in good fashion and are placed 2^nd in the points standings.
