Breaking: Arsenal in Talks With Jorge Mendes Over Deal to Sign 'Future Ballon d'Or Winner

Arsenal have been in contact with the agent of Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz, Jorge Mendes, ahead of a possible move, with the Serie A club currently locked in contract talks, according to Caught Offside.

Arsenal in Contact to Sign Kenan Yildiz

According to a report from Caught Offside, Arsenal are one of the sides leading the Premier League interest in Juventus youngster Yildiz, with the Serie A club locked in 'delicate' contract negotiations. Progress over a new deal has stalled, with his representatives pushing for a salary increase.

The Gunners are believed to be in contract with his agent, Mendes, and Mikel Arteta's project is understood to be appealing to Yildiz. The north London outfit are prepared to move quickly to secure his signature if Juventus are unable to extend his stay with the Italian club.

Yildiz, tipped to be a future Ballon d'Or winner, can play in multiple positions in attack, which could be hugely beneficial for Arteta.

Arteta Will Have Problem Fitting Yildiz In

Although Yildiz's versatility would be useful for Arteta, he might struggle to nail down a starting position for now. The Turkish star has predominantly played as a number 10, but he's also comfortable on the left-hand side of attack.

Unfortunately for him, this is very similar to Eberechi Eze, who is competing with the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard. Yildiz certainly won't be a guaranteed starter if he does make the move to the Emirates Stadium, so keeping all of his attackers happy could become a problem for Arteta if he arrives through the door in 2026.
