According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Arsenal have decided to make an offer for Fenerbahce defender Ferdi Kadioglu at the end of the campaign.
The Gunners have struggled to find a reliable figure for the left-back position this season and as a manager. Mikel Arteta In recent games he has rotated between Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior.
It seems Arsenal are willing to back Arteta with another option. speaking to digital sports, Sabuncuoglu has revealed that the Gunners have been scouting Kadioglu extensively in recent months.
The London giants have decided to make a transfer proposed in summer. They are expected to knock on Fenerbahçe's door with a formal offer. There is no mention of the required transfer fee.
Versatile star
The 24-year-old has the ability to operate from multiple positions. He has played at right back and on the right wing for Fenerbahce, but has had more success at left back for the Turkish giants.
Despite being right-footed, the Turkish star has adapted well on the left wing. Kadioglu has excellent dribbling skills and has attracted attention with his overlapping runs and his ability to cut inside to find passes between the lines.
He has been compared to Joao Cancelo due to his style of play and could be ready for a bigger challenge this summer. Kadioglu, who has contributed 7 goals this season, could cost at least £26 millionaccording to Sabah in Türkiye.
Arsenal could consider selling one of their current left-backs for his summer arrival. It could be Kiwior or Zinchenko, considering Takehiro Tomiyasu recently signed a new long-term contract.
Kiwior has been linked with a return to Serie A for some time now and we won't be surprised if a deal materialises. Zinchenko could also be heading for the exit door if he is not guaranteed regular playing time after Kadioglu joins the club.
