Arsenal target Brazilian winger Kenan Yildiz
With Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr off their radar, Arsenal are now focusing on another talented Brazilian winger: Kenan Yildiz. According to BBC Sport - Football, Arsenal are interested in the 21-year-old, who had a standout season at Juventus.
The Gunners need to strengthen their attacking lineup before the start of the new season as they aim to defend their title. After being unsuccessful in an attempt to sign the star winger from Real Madrid, Arsenal now have their eyes on Yildiz, one of the bright sparks during pre-season training.
Arteta has made it clear that whoever joins this season must take them to the next level. BBC reporting suggests they are looking at bringing in one or two forwards, as well as a defender due to injuries to key players like Jurrien Timber and William Saliba.

Manager Mikel Arteta commented on Arsenal's transfer strategy: 'Well, that's what we're trying to do. If we have the right player in the market to make us much better.' He is set to strengthen different positions and hopes for more fresh faces before the deadline.
