Juventus midfielder Kenan Yildiz has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
The 18-year-old is highly rated across Europe and several Premier League clubs are thought to be keeping tabs on him. A report from Calciomercato claims that Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on the player but Juventus are against the idea of sanctioning his departure next month.
The Turkish midfielder is a top-class talent and it is no surprise that the Italian giants want to hold onto him for the long run. He could develop into a key player for them in the coming seasons with the right coaching and experience.
Meanwhile, Arsenal could certainly use more quality and depth in the middle of the park. The 18-year-old would have added creativity and technical ability to the side.
Arsenal have been overly reliant on Martin Odegaard for creativity in the middle of the park and they need an understudy to the Norwegian international. It will be interesting to see if they decide to test the waters with an offer for the Juventus suite in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have linked for the move for the player as well. However, they have several creative midfielders at their disposal, and they should look to focus on signing a defensive midfielder instead.
The 18-year-old Turkish midfielder is highly rated across Europe and he is certainly good enough to play for several clubs. A move to the Premier League could be an exciting opportunity for the player and he could be tempted if the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool promise him game time. They could offer him a lucrative contract compared to Juventus as well.
The Italian giants are currently under no pressure to sanction his departure, and therefore January move seems highly unlikely. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Liverpool are prepared to try their luck at the end of the season.
The 18-year-old could prove to be a solid, long-term investment for them and he could develop into an important starter for the two clubs.
