Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly made contact with Juventus during a deal to sign Kenan Yildiz this summer, according to Italian outlet All sport.
The Gunners were one of the most active clubs in the recently closed transfer window. Although Liverpool splashed the most money, Mikel Arteta’s side had the most net spending.
They bought eight new players by spending around £ 270 million. Now, All sport claim that before Ebereechi was bought from Crystal Palace, Arsenal was interested in Yildiz and called to learn about the details of signing him.
Chelsea also looked at a movement for him and tested the water. However, Yildiz has settled as an integral part of the start XI of the Bianconeri, so they rejected every approach from the Premier League duo.
The old lady of Turin plans to give him a fresh period, although he has left for four years in his current contract, and they will open conversations with the player’s representatives after these international breaks.
Chelsea are the most active clubs on the transfer market since Todd Boehly took over ownership, and things remained the same this summer. They spent a lot of money to buy new players, but also sold several, in the end the blues actually made a profit.
Conflict
Yildiz is a versatile attacker because he is comfortable on the left flank and the number 10 position. Chelsea has bought Alejandro Garnacho to strengthen the left flank, while they have signed Facundo Buonanotte to support Cole Palmer.
They were also interested in Xavi Simons before they were the service of Buonanotte insured. But it seems that Yildiz was their primary target to strengthen the creative midfield position.
Yildiz, with a value of around £ 43 million Transfer markethas settled as one of the best young players in the Serie A. He is a technically gifted player and has the potential to reach the top; That is why he would have been a great coup for Arsenal or Chelsea, a club had finally managed to buy him.
Eze is, however, a Premier League-Covered player, and given Arsenal, the Premier League title wants to win, the former Crystal Palace star is a better option for Arteta’s side above Yildiz.
