Arsenal lead race for dream Kenan Yildiz transfer after UEFA settlement agreement

Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to sign Kenan Yildiz next summer after Juventus entered a UEFA settlement agreement. The Italian club must balance their finances by earning between £60 million and £70 million, which could prompt a permanent sale. Juventus are reportedly seeking £125 million for the 21-year-old forward, which would represent a joint Premier League record fee.

Tottenham also previously enquired about Yildiz, but Arsenal are reportedly showing stronger interest. Yildiz has been sidelined with a broken foot since the opening weekend of the Serie A season, with Juventus expecting him to return in December. UEFA recently penalized Juventus with a £16.7 million fine for breaching financial rules, requiring them to hit specific financial targets.
