Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz has emerged as Arsenal's primary transfer target, according to a report by British outlet The Mirror, published after Türkiye's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Despite Türkiye's early exit from the tournament, Yildiz has retained a strong standing in the European transfer market. The Mirror reported that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified the 21-year-old as his priority as the club looks to strengthen its attacking line.
Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard are all in the last year of their contracts with Arsenal. The club is open to letting them go, which could make space for a big new signing in Arteta's squad.
Yildiz is not the only player Arsenal is considering. Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola, and Christis Tzolis are also reportedly on the club's list for attacking options.
