Transfer rumors, news: Arsenal want Yildiz as Al Hilal add Martinelli to short list
Arsenal are exploring the possibility of signing Kenan Yildiz from Juventus as a potential replacement for Gabriel Martinelli. The Gunners are reportedly interested in bolstering their left flank after missing out on Vinicius Junior, who extended his contract with Real Madrid.
Juventus has set a valuation of over €70 million for Yildiz, who scored 11 goals across all competitions last season. Meanwhile, Al Hilal has added Martinelli to their shortlist of targets, having been linked with Chelsea's Pedro Neto.
Arsenal has also made a pre-contract offer for 17-year-old winger Andria Bartishvili, who is set to become a free agent at the end of the year. Bartishvili has drawn comparisons to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Paris Saint-Germain, with interest from Liverpool and Juventus as well.
