Arsenal are interested in signing the Galatasaray attacker Baris Alper Yilmaz at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old Turkish international has been in impressive form, with 12 goals and assists to his name this season. According to a report from Sabah, Arsenal’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, personally scouted the player during the Derby game between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.
The Arsenal director has been closely following the 25-year-old attacker, and he rates Yilmaz highly. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can get the deal done.
They could use more quality on the flanks. Noni Madueke has been underwhelming for Arsenal, and players like Leandro Trossard have been linked with a move away in the summer. The 25-year-old Turkish attacker could be an excellent acquisition for Arsenal.
However, the report claims that he could cost €50 million. Arsenal will need to improve in the attacking unit this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay a premium for the Turkish international.
The opportunity to join Arsenal will be exciting for Yilmaz. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. They are pushing for the league title and the UEFA Champions League. Yilmaz will want to win major trophies with them in the coming season.
He’s entering the peak years of his career, and he has the technical attributes to thrive in England. He could be an important player for Arsenal going forward.
The 25-year-old is a versatile attacker who can operate on either flank. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. In addition, he is a hardworking player who will protect the fullbacks and help out defensively.
