Arteta sees Juventus star as a dream signing
USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Connect

Mikel Arteta continues to eye a move for Kenan Yildiz, as the Juventus star has left a strong impression on him whenever he watches the Turkish youngster play.

Yildiz is one of the first names on the team sheet at Juventus, and he has even captained the team for several matches while wearing their number 10 shirt.

The Bianconeri made him one of their top earners when he last signed a new deal, which is a clear sign of how much they trust the attacker and value his contribution to the team.

Arsenal Admire Yildiz

Juventus want him to stay at all costs and are building their current team around the impressive youngster, who has performed extremely well for them so far.

However, his fine form is also the reason Arsenal admire him, and a report in The Sun claims that Mikel Arteta likes the attacker and wants him to play for his team soon.

Yildiz has established himself as an important player for Juventus, and his growing role at the club has made him an attractive target for Arsenal. The Gunners are interested in his qualities and believe he could become an important addition to their squad.

Juventus are determined to keep their young star, meaning Arsenal would face a difficult task if they decide to pursue a transfer. The Bianconeri have already shown how highly they rate Yildiz through his contract and his role within the team.

Arsenal Face Huge Transfer Cost

Juventus want to keep Yildiz, and Arsenal would have to pay in excess of 100m euros if they push to add him to their squad. The Gunners could insist on signing him because Arteta considers the attacker his dream addition to his current squad.

Arsenal would therefore need to make a significant financial commitment to convince Juventus to sell. The Italian club have little reason to let Yildiz leave, particularly after making him such an important part of their plans.

Arteta’s admiration could nevertheless encourage Arsenal to explore the possibility of a deal. Yildiz remains firmly in Juventus’ plans, but Arsenal’s interest could develop further if the Gunners decide that he is the player they want to add to their squad.

For now, Juventus remain determined to keep their star attacker, while Arteta continues to admire the qualities Yildiz could bring to Arsenal.
