Ayyoub Bouaddi: Arsenal in Talks for Young Moroccan Talent
Arsenal has initiated talks regarding Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old midfielder from Morocco. The

Arsenal Football Club is reportedly in discussions with Juventus to secure the services of young forward Kenan Yildiz. The Italian side has made it clear that they will only consider negotiations if they receive an offer of around €100 million. This move comes as Arsenal seeks to bolster its attacking lineup ahead of the upcoming season.
According to multiple sources, including TEAMtalk and Turkish Football, Arsenal has officially approached Juventus after Turkey's exit from the 2026 World Cup to explore the possibility of signing the 21-year-old star. This is not the first time Arsenal has shown interest in Yildiz; they had been tracking him since late 2025, prior to his contract renewal with Juventus.
Yildiz recently signed a new contract with Juventus that extends until 2030, complicating any potential transfer. Despite Arsenal's interest, Juventus is reportedly not inclined to sell one of their key future players. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer expert, stated that Juventus has no intention of parting ways with Yildiz this summer, emphasizing that the club had closed the transfer door months ago.
Yildiz had an impressive season with Juventus, playing primarily as a left winger, where he scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions. His versatility in attacking positions makes him a fitting candidate for Arsenal's tactical setup under manager Mikel Arteta.
However, the likelihood of Arsenal completing this deal remains low, especially given Juventus' firm stance and the hefty price tag. With other targets also in Arsenal's sights, including Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, the club faces a challenging summer transfer window ahead.
