Kenan Yilmaz's future appears set to be a major talking point at Arsenal right up until the summer transfer window slams shut again.

The 21-year-old winger has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, and Mikel Arteta's side are said to be admirers of the Juventus star.

Last season, the Turkey international notched 14 goals and 10 assists in 51 games, taking him to a total of 43 goal contributions in 131 appearances.

Back in North London, the left-wing position is one of huge debate, with Leandro Trossard gone and Gabriel Martinelli the subject of interest elsewhere.

Christos Tzolis has hit the ground running at Arsenal, but supporters are desperate for someone to challenge the former Club Brugge star.

While the Old Lady have no desire to sell the young star, fans believe they've spotted footage from pre-season that suggests he wants an exit.

Kenan Yildiz 'not happy' in new Juventus footage

Juventus prepare for the new season with a 2-0 friendly win over Parma on Tuesday, 11 August, with Yildiz and Arkadiusz Milik on the scoresheet.

It was the Turk's celebration, or lackthereof, that caught Gunners fans' attention, looking extremely "disgruntled" after hitting the back of the net.

One supporter believes that the player "wants to leave Juventus," while another suggests some "truth" to the rumours surrounding his future.

How much would Arsenal have to spend on Juventus' star?

The majority of reports have stated that Yildiz is simply not up for sale, but any player is usually available if a club throws enough money at a deal.

Arsenal would have to splash over £85million on the player's signature, it has been revealed recently, but that shouldn't be a problem for Arteta's side.

Tzolis has been joined by Bruno Guimaraes, but other than Illan Meslier on a free transfer, the Gunners haven't signed anyone else this summer.

Of course, £109m on two players, one winger and one midfielder, is still a lot of money, but after winning the Premier League, Yildiz's cost should be a drop in the ocean at the Emirates.
