Arsenal eye January move for one of Serie A's best youngsters

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a January move for a Juventus winger.

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing a move for Juventus’s winger Kenan Yildiz, and could submit an offer in the January transfer window 

The 20-year-old is under contract at Juventus until the summer of 2029, but renewal talks have stalled amid a clear gap between what his representatives are asking for and what Juve are willing to pay. Arsenal are reportedly looking to exploit the dispute.

Yildiz's Juventus contract 

According to Goal, the Turkey international is currently on €1.5 million annually, and his camp is seeking a salary in the €5–7 million net-per-season range to reflect the rise in his profile

Juventus’s hierarchy believe there is no cause for alarm, despite the disagreement, with sporting director Giorgio Chiellini calling for calm. 

Also, the Old Lady are keen on keeping the winger, having reportedly rejected a bid in the region of €65–70 million from Chelsea last summer.

That stalemate is exactly why Arsenal (and other big clubs) have been linked. Per the aforementioned Goal, Arsenal have made contact to sound Juve out about Yıldız to test the waters. 

Yildiz is expected to cost up to €100 million, which would make it a tough deal to complete in the winter transfer window.  However, should they wait until the summer, they would have to compete with other top clubs for his signature.
