Report: Arsenal told no chance for Serie A starArsenal Transfer Blow as Juventus Stand Firm on Kenan YildizArsenal’s search for a left-sided attacker has met firm resistance, with Juventus making it clear that Kenan Yildiz is not for sale. According to Metro, the north London club explored the possibility of signing the Turkey international after missing out on Vinicius Junior earlier in the window, but the Italian side have shut the door.Yildiz has rapidly grown into one of the most admired young forwards in Europe. After landing Serie A’s Rising Star award last season, he emerged as a natural target for clubs seeking elite-level upside and versatility in the final third.
