Arsenal must move quickly to sign a £34m-rated attacker tipped to win the Ballon d’Or before his price tag skyrockets at Euro 2024.

Mikel Arteta will be enjoying some time off now after an intense season which saw his side run Manchester City lose for the Premier League title.

Though, he’ll likely still have his eye on the Euros, keeping close tabs on a number of targets Edu has picked out.

One of those has already made noise in his first game at the tournament and the club must now move rapidly to sign him before competition increases.

Arsenal need to move quickly for Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz

Arsenal have been long linked with a move for Juventus’s Kenan Yildiz and there were reports suggesting they made a bid earlier this year.

The £34m-rated forward is currently away with Turkey at the European Championships in Germany and has already been making headlines.

His side defeated Georgia 3-1 in one of the best games of the tournament and he was a constant threat throughout – having a goal chalked off for offside.

Turkey looked really strong and have every chance of advancing to the knockout stages, which will only increase Yildiz’s exposure to potential suitors.

So, the Gunners need to make a move now and try to wrap up a deal before interest gathers and his price tag skyrockets.

Kenan Yildiz tipped to win Ballon d’Or

Yildiz’s Juventus teammate and former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojech Szczesny has tipped the 19-year-old to win the Ballon d’Or.

“I bet with a friend that Kenan Yildiz will be nominated for the Ballon d’Or within five years. I played with many players, but I never saw a talent like him. I am confident that I will win that bet,” Szczesny said.

With a talent that promising on show at Euro 2024, Arsenal can’t afford to mull over the deal. They must wrap it up imminently to avoid losing out.
