Arsenal eyes Kenan Yıldız and Morgan Gibbs‑White in summer transfer drive

Arsenal have opened formal enquiries about Turkish winger Kenan Yıldız, a Juventus player with a contract until 2030. Although Juventus have indicated the player is not for sale, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta are monitoring the situation as they look to strengthen the squad for the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

The club is also focusing on Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs‑White, whose summer move has been complicated by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis. Arteta has told the board that securing a creative midfielder is essential for Arsenal’s Champions League ambitions. In addition to Yıldız and Gibbs‑White, Arsenal are reported to be considering offers for Ben White, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, among others.

Arsenal’s transfer activity follows a title‑winning season and aims to reinforce the team’s attacking options ahead of a demanding campaign across domestic and European competitions.
