ARSENAL is a January settlement for Juventus prodigy Kenan Yildiz, according to reports.
Mikel Arteta is eager to join his squad next month as he looks to lead the Gunners to their first name in the Premier League in 20 years.
And Turkish-Football claim that Yildiz is one of his preferred targets.
The 18-year-old broke into the Juventus first team at the start of the season after moving from Bayern Munich last summer.
Since then, he has played important games for the Serie A giants.
Yildiz also earned his first senior call-up to the Turkish national team in October.
The striker opened his account in a sensational 3-2 win over Germany.
His impressive performances this season have seen him attract interest from the likes of Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Liverpool.
But Arsenal are reportedly in a position to make an offer for him in January.
Yildiz’s current contract expires in June 2027, so the Gunners will most likely have to make a significant offer to convince Juventus to sell.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri gushed over the teenager’s talent during a post-match press conference in October.
He said: “In my opinion, he becomes a wonderful player, stopping the ball as he stops.”
Arsenal have been linked with Ivan Toney, Pedro Neto and Douglas Luiz ahead of the January transfer window.
