ARSENAL are mulling over a big-money swoop for Juventus wonderkid Kenan Yildiz, according to reports.
It was claimed over the summer that Chelsea had a £70million bid knocked back by Juve.

But that hasn’t put Arsenal off as they keep tabs on one of Europe‘s brightest young talents.
Gunners chiefs have contacted Yildiz’s camp about the feasibility of bringing him to north London, according to GOAL.
Reports in Italy claim the Bianconeri value the 20-year-old as highly as £87million.
And Arsenal have only just come to the end of a summer window which saw them splash an eye-watering £262m on new signings.
But Yildiz could prove too tempting an opportunity to pass up on.
The German-born Turkish international can play as an attacking midfielder or out wide.
He has featured mainly as a left-sided forward for Juventus this season, racking up four goal contributions in as many Serie A matches.
Yildiz also managed another goal and an assist in his only Champions League outing of the campaign – a 4-4 draw with Borussia Dortmund.

The youngster spent a decade in Bayern Munich‘s academy before being lured to Turin in 2022.
Since making his first-team debut the following year, Yildiz has racked up 18 goals in 89 appearances.
Arsenal strengthened significantly out wide over the summer, with Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke both added to Mikel Arteta‘s ranks.
The Gunners boss is also well-stocked in attacking midfield, where Martin Odegaard is keeping Ethan Nwaneri out of the team.

ARSENAL plodded to a comfortable win as Mikel Arteta flexed his squad’s immense strength in depth to advance into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners brushed aside League One outfit Port Vale 2-0 with a goal in each half as they faced little threat from their inferior opponents.
Eberechi Eze netted his first ever goal for Arsenal to open the scoring early in the first half.
Then substitute Leandro Trossard secured Arsenal’s place in the next round with a late goal that he rifled into the corner.
