Club president says he’s heard Arsenal and Liverpool want to sign ‘very special’ £42m forward this summer
Arsenal and Liverpool both find themselves in a position where they are in need of fine-tuning their squad this summer to compete at the top of the table.
Despite just seven points separating the two sides last season, Arsenal and Liverpool will be experiencing much different summers.
The Gunners will likely experience a much more settled pre-season with Mikel Arteta now into his fifth year at the Emirates.
Whereas, big changes have unfolded at Anfield over recent weeks following the appointment of Arne Slot as Jurgen Klopp‘s successor.
🦄However, it seems the two clubs are both sharing a real interest in the same forward this summer.
Arsenal and Liverpool want to sign £42m forward this summer
𝓀Neither Arsenal (91) nor Liverpool (86) had any issues in finding the back of the net in the Premier League last season.
🌠But both clubs are set to go into the new campaign looking for a new option out wide for their front three.
Arsenal’s summer window has been taken over by their pursuit of Bologna defender Riccardo Calafioriඣ, however, it seems they may now have to compete with Liverpool for the signing of a 24-year-old forward.
💛Speaking to Turkish outlet , the president of Turkish side Ankara Keciorengucu, Sedat Tahiroglu has claimed Arsenal and Liverpool are both interested in the Galatasaray forward Baris Alper Yilmaz.
🌞“We have 20% of Baris Alper Yilmaz’s share, but we have not received a request from Galatasaray to meet with us on this issue,” said Tahiroglu.
♐“I hear that Liverpool want him, Arsenal want him, but I know Nuri Sahin definitely wants it. I don’t think the price of €50m will come out. He could be sold for around €30m.”
Baris Alper Yilmaz hailed ‘very special’ after impressive season
ꩵPlaying in Turkey for Galatasaray in their title-winning campaign, the 24-year-old was able to provide six goals and seven assists in the Super Lig.
ꩲFormer Galatasaray player Selcuk Inan has now suggested that Yilmaz is a player who has serious potential for the future.
🥀“I think Baris Alper Yilmaz can play very comfortably for many teams in the Premier League at the moment. He’s a very special player,” he said to the .
🍎Both Liverpool and Arsenal have some serious options out wide which may leave Yilmaz as a rotational option.
ꦛHowever, the opportunity to play at one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs could offer the Turkey international with a seriously exciting prospect.
