Arsenal have Juventus superstar Kenan Yildiz on their radar ahead of future transfer windows, sources close to Arsenal Insider understand.

Yildiz has been flying at Juventus after making the jump from the Italian club’s development team to the first team.

It’s been a superb two years for the Turkey international, who is making his presence known for club and country.

Arsenal have looked at Yildiz for years, scouting the 20-year-old back in 2023 when he was breaking through in Turin.

Given how impressive Yildiz has been, Arsenal fans will be relieved to learn that the club’s admiration for the player hasn’t changed since Andrea Berta’s arrival.

Kenan Yildiz to Arsenal transfer is one to watch

Berta massively impressed Arsenal in his first transfer window as the club’s sporting director.

During the summer, Yildiz was scouted once again by Arsenal, but the Gunners were aware that Juventus were, under no condition, considering his transfer.

The stance is the same even now, but Arsenal remain on the Turkish winger’s tail, as Arsenal Insider’s transfer expert Graeme Bailey explained. 

“Yildiz is a player that Arsenal are well aware of and like, similar to Arda Guler, Rodrygo, Nico Paz, et cetera,” Bailey said.

Bailey doubled down on Juventus’ desire to keep Yildiz in Turin, but branded Arsenal’s interest as something to watch as time passes.

“However, Yildiz is seen as Juventus’ key player; they love him, he loves them, and I am told he would be the last player they considered selling.

“There is no approach from Arsenal, but he is on the radar, and he does play that left-sided role that they are looking at. One to keep an eye on, but no sign that Yildiz is looking to move.”

Arsenal won’t be the only club admiring Yildiz from afar, with a lot of eyes on the 2005-born talent right now.

Yildiz has had a remarkable start to 2025/26

If there’s one person Juventus will look at to make the difference, it’s Yildiz, who has been magnificent.

Before the 2025/26 campaign officially kicked off, the Turk was shining at the Club World Cup, where he contributed to five goals in only four appearances. 

With a CIES market value of £103m, Juve would’ve been licking their lips having seen what Yildiz achieved at the summer tournament, and to the Italian clubs’ delight, his form has carried into the season. 

In six appearances in the Champions League and Serie A combined, the 20-year-old has been directly involved in six goals, impressing Igor Tudor.

Arsenal would love to have a player like Yildiz in their ranks, as would plenty of other clubs, with the winger’s future one to watch in future windows.
