It is unclear if Liverpool and Arsenal will turn their reported interest in Yildiz into an official bid. Reds boss Klopp insists his side will only dip into the transfer market if top players are made available, having lost Joel Matip to a potentially season-ending knee injury.
Arsenal could try to sign a forward but have been more strongly linked with Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney. Osimhen could be more attainable in the summer, with Napoli unlikely to sell midway through the campaign. Toney will return from his eight-month football ban on January 16.
Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have both struggled for consistency as Arsenal’s No 9. The Gunners may need a prolific forward if they are to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title.
