Arsenal are reportedly set to make an initial offer for Baris Alper Yilmaz in the coming days.
The Galatasaray forward has previously been linked with a summer move to Arsenal following Andrea Berta’s visit to Istanbul during Galatasaray’s 3–0 victory over Fenerbahce.

Now, a fresh update has emerged regarding Arsenal’s interest in Yilmaz.
