Tottenham interested in £125m statement signing, but Arsenal could lead the race

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal remain interested in Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, though journalist Gianluca Di Marzio believes Arsenal are currently leading the race. Both North London rivals reportedly had bids rejected for the 21-year-old Turkish international late in the summer transfer window, with Juventus valuing the attacker at €150m (£125m) as they look to raise funds to comply with UEFA regulations.

While Juventus may need to generate roughly €70m to €80m from player sales, a permanent transfer to Tottenham in January appears unlikely. Having spent heavily in the summer on Mateus Fernandes, Savio, and Sandro Tonali, Spurs are expected to operate with financial restraint under Roberto De Zerbi during the winter window.
