Juventus talent Kenan Yildiz announced himself to the world at the weekend as the 19-year-old netted a brace to rescue a point for his team in a thrilling 4-4 draw with Inter Milan.
With Juve 4-2 behind in the Derby d’Italia on Sunday, the winger came onto the San Siro pitch for a 28-minute cameo and shocked the home crowd with a brace. Yildiz announced himself to the football world with his performance, taking his total for the season to three goals and two assists across 12 games in all competitions.
The youngster came through the Serie A giants’ academy and has a contract in Turin until 2029, however, that has not stopped the Turkish talent from being linked with a move away from Italy.
Arsenal have been one club linked to Yildiz recently as the Gunners are on the lookout for a new winger ahead of the 2025/26 campaign as Raheem Sterling is not expected to remain at the Emirates Stadium beyond the current season, reports Charles Watts.
The Gunners journalist has admitted that he has never heard the Juventus star’s name as an option for the Premier League club, however, that doesn’t mean they are not monitoring the youngster.
