Arsenal transfer news: Gunners monitoring £17.5m star attacking midfielder according to agent
Arsenal have maintained their interest in Trabzonspor star midfielder Yusuf Yazici.
The Turkey international has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent month following an impressive run of form.
Turkish outlet Ajanspor spoke with Yazici’s representative Adem Cebeci who has claimed that Arsene Wenger is keen on the young midfielder.
“Yusuf is keen on a move to Europe however, no official offer has been tabled.” Cebeci told Ajanspor.
“Several Premier League clubs are interested, Arsenal are continually scouting him.
“Erkut Söğüt [Yusuf’s agent] has held face to face talks with foreign clubs. However, we expect Yusuf to remain at Trabzonspor until the end of the season.”
