Arsenal And Manchester City Fight For The Turkish Forward:
Arsenal and Mnachester City want Semih Kılıçso
Semih Kilicsoy’s future hangs in the balance as Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Manchester City engage in a fierce battle for his signature. According to Sabah, as reported by SportWitness, both Arsenal and Manchester City have thrown their hats into the ring, ready to challenge Tottenham Hotspur for the 18-year-old Turkish sensation.
Having risen through the ranks at Besiktas, Kilicsoy’s ascent to the first team ahead of the 2023–24 season has caught the attention of top English clubs. Despite limited playing time, he has already made a significant impact, tallying ten goals and an assist in just 25 matches, amassing less than 1400 minutes on the field. Manchester City, while not immediately in need of a striker, recognize Kilicsoy’s potential value in the long term. Hence, they are willing to invest in the young prodigy to secure his services for the future.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, under Arteta’s guidance, see Kilicsoy as a valuable addition to their squad. The prospect of having a burgeoning talent like Kilicsoy at the Emirates Stadium excites Arteta, who believes the young striker could become a cornerstone of the team’s success.
As the bidding war intensifies, Kilicsoy finds himself at the center of attention, with three Premier League giants vying for his talents. His decision will not only shape his own future but could also have a significant impact on the fortunes of the club fortunate enough to secure his signature.
The gunners will sell Eddie Nketiah
Reportedly, Arsenal, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, will part ways with 24-year-old Eddie Nektiah for a staggering €50 million. As per Fichajes, the North London club will give greenlight Nektiah’s transfer, deeming him a non-priority asset in Arteta’s plans, seeking to capitalize on his potential.
Nektiah’s ascent within Arsenal’s ranks has been swift, culminating in his promotion to the first team in 2019. Since then, he has featured in 163 matches, amassing an impressive tally of 38 goals and 10 assists, despite often assuming a substitute role.
The English international has thrived amidst rotational play, showcasing his adaptability and impact on the team’s success. Despite limited playing time this season, Nektiah has contributed 11 goals in less than 1400 minutes of first-team action.
