Arsenal plans to recruit ‘blockbuster’ Ferdi Kadioglu to replace Jurrien Timber

According to journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the Emirates Stadium team is identifying a potential target.

Besides Kai Havertz or Declan Rice, Arsenal also introduced another quality signature in the recent transfer window, Jurrien Timber .

The Dutch player arrived at the Emirates from Ajax and quickly showed his influence. Timber not only plays well as a centre-back but can also take on the role of full-back.

However, when everything was changing in a positive direction, the Dutch star suffered a serious injury , forcing him to take a long break from competition.

Timber’s absence significantly reduces Arsenal’s defensive depth. Therefore, in the upcoming transfer window, Mikel Arteta is expected to recruit a new name to solve the problem in this area.

Sources from journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu said they are keeping an eye on Fenerbahce star Ferdi Kadioglu.

It is known that Gunners scouting director Romain Poirot has followed the 24-year-old star in recent matches and gave positive assessments. Therefore, it is likely that they will conduct negotiations with Fenerbahce in January to promote this deal.

According to CaughtOffside’s revelation, the British star suddenly wanted to join Arsenal if he left Manchester City.

While not showing much at Newcastle United, Sandro Tonali had to receive a ban for betting. Therefore, the home team of St. James’ Park was forced to participate in the winter transfer market and look for a top midfielder to replace Tonali. British media said that coach Eddie Howe’s number one target is currently Kalvin Phillips, who is being “snubbed”; entirely at Manchester City.

Up to now, Phillips has only made 4 appearances in the Premier League this season, and all All come from the bench. With EURO 2024 approaching, the former Leeds United star is said to be ready to look for a new stop to have the opportunity to play regularly. Notably, according to revelations from CaughtOffside, Phillips wants to move to Arsenal to be teammates with Declan Rice.

However, there is still no information showing that Phillips is on the Gunners’ list of transfer targets, and with Kai Havertz is bringing impressive performances in the midfield, perhaps coach Mikel Arteta has no plans to strengthen the midfield at this time. Besides Newcastle, Phillips is also said to be the target of many other clubs such as Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham or Borussia Dortmund.
