Arsenal among clubs interested in Kenan Yildiz

Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Kenan Yildiz, per reports in Italy. The Gunners could be monitoring the youngster with a view to bringing him to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal could use another left winger, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard failing to convince.

While Eberechi Eze has taken the mantle on the left flank, he is better in an attacking midfield role, and the Juventus starlet could be the solution.

Lauded by Juventus legend Del Piero as a ‘complete player’, Yildiz caught the eye last season, delivering 12 goals and nine assists for the Bianconeri.

Yildiz has followed it up with two goals and four assists in eight appearances this term, turning the heads of clubs like Arsenal.

He reportedly has no intention of joining Arsenal yet, but talks to get him to renew his deal are dragging on, creating an opportunity for the North London giants.

Yildiz is on one of the lowest contracts at the club despite being one of the most influential on the pitch.

The 20-year-old has asked for a decent pay rise, and the Old Lady is scampering to get it done to fend off Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona.

However, Arsenal may be better off shifting their focus from Yildiz to Antoine Semenyo.

The Ghanaian winger has been electric for Bournemouth, emerging as one of the Premier League’s most devastating wide forwards.

Yildiz, like Eze, is also a ten built for the middle. Semenyo is a pure winger who could instantly elevate the Arsenal attack.

His blend of pace, power, and productivity (six goals and three assists already this season) would bring a new dimension to Mikel Arteta’s side.

Unlike Yildiz, who is still refining his game in Serie A, Semenyo has proven himself in England’s top flight, hurting defenders with direct running and two-footed finishing.

Arsenal’s left flank has lacked that unpredictable spark for too long.

If sporting director Andrea Berta wants to keep Arsenal at the top, they should be looking at Semenyo as the missing piece to give Arteta the complete attacking balance he craves.
