Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly \u2018readying\u2019 offers for Juventus striker Kenan Yildiz. Reports in Italy claim that the Turkey international has interest from Premier League clubs preparing to take advantage of Juve\u2019s financial problems.<\/p>\n

The Serie A giants could reportedly be tempted into the departures of several stars in the January transfer window. Yildiz has caught the attention of some of Europe\u2019s biggest clubs since his switch from Bayern Munich\u2019s academy in 2022.<\/p>\n

An 18-year-old forward, Yildiz has already made his debut for Turkey\u2019s senior team and scored his first international goal against Germany in November. He has a contract with Juve until 2027 but has been linked with an exit.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that Liverpool and Arsenal both hope to bolster their forward lines with the addition of the Germany-born star. According to Calciomercato, Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke recommended the teenager to Jurgen Klopp during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Juve reportedly have no plans to sell the player in January as they are intent on giving their young players a chance amid their financial woes. However, Yildiz is supposedly seeking improved game time having featured for only 36 Serie A minutes this season.<\/p>\n

The report adds that interested clubs would need to pay around \u00a335m to sign Yildiz. Given both clubs have played down their interest in engaging in vast amounts of business in January, Liverpool and Arsenal will likely need to negotiate down that fee.<\/p>\n

Yildiz\u2019s versatility would make him an excellent addition to any Premier League club. He can play as a centre-forward or as a No 10, and can perhaps be coached to play deeper than that.<\/p>\n
