Yazici is represented by Erkut Sogut, the same agent as Mesut Ozil.
Sogut has recommended his client to Arsenal as he continues to raise awareness of Yazici’s talent across Europe.
Trabzonspor value their star man as being worth £17.5 million.
Another of Yazici’s representatives Adem Cebeci said Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has personally watched the rising star.
Cebeci said: “Yusuf wants a move to Europe, Erkut Sogut has been in talks with clubs and there is interest from the Premier League, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has watched Yusuf in person.”
Ozil meanwhile waxed lyrical about Yazici in a recent interview with the Sabah newspaper Ozil said: “I really like Trabzonspor duo Yusuf Yazici and Abdulkadir Omur, they are incredible talents.
“Yusuf Yazici is an amazing No 10.
“We have a lot of similarities and I myself in him.
“His left foot, his position, his close passing and calmness on the ball.
“We will see Yusuf at a big European club in the near future.”
