Arsenal are preparing a huge bid to sign Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz during the winter transfer window, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
The Turkish ace was a top target for the Gunners to bolster the left wing this summer, but the Bianconeri were reluctant to sell him.
Despite this, the Gunners remain interested in the Bayern Munich graduate and are ready to make a shock £85m bid this winter.
Yildiz is presently out of contention due to a metatarsal fracture sustained in August, and he may not return to training until next month.
Hence, it may take several weeks for him to return to top form, and we doubt Arsenal will make a big-money swoop at the start of the year.
Instead, they could assess his performances over the course of the season before weighing up a formal approach in the summer of 2027.
Juventus are in a precarious financial situation after failing to qualify for the Champions League. A repeat could lead to Yildiz's exit.
