According to JuveFC, Arsenal will compete with Chelsea for the signing of Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz this summer.
The 20-year-old is one of Europe’s hottest prospects. He first rose to prominence with Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, but contractual issues forced him to leave, and Juventus beat off many other major European clubs to recruit him.
The Bianconeri gave him the no. 10 jersey as a sign of faith, and it’s safe to say the teenager has rewarded the faith with 17 goals, including a clinical finish in their 5-0 win against UAE side Al Ain in their Club World Cup debut.
Yildiz has been linked with a move to England in recent months, and JuveFC reports that Arsenal and Chelsea have renewed their interest in signing the Germany-born Turkish international this summer.
According to the report, London rivals have resumed talks with Juventus about signing him during the current summer transfer window.

According to the report, the Premier League giants recognize his talent and the benefits he will bring to their respective teams and have begun discussions with the player’s management while continuing to follow his situation in Turin.
However, the Italian newspaper claims that, despite interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, Yildiz is not looking to leave this summer, with Juventus also banking on him next season.
Battle
While there is no sign that the 36-time Italian champions will let him go, the article claims Juventus could accept offers in the area of £59 million for the kid, with Arsenal and Chelsea also interested.
Chelsea and Arsenal are both trying to strengthen their attacking lineups, and they happen to be hunting for left-wingers. Several choices have been connected with the London rivals, with the Blues apparently having a preliminary agreement in principle with Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
At the same time, the Gunners are said to be considering an ambitious move for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
Yildiz, who is 1.85m tall, is a towering forward with power, pace, and flair – qualities required to cope with the physical demands of the Premier League.
While he is likely to provide an immediate upgrade if he completes the transfer, it remains to be seen which side of London will outbid the other to satisfy Juventus’ value of the winger.
