Arsenal target Ferdi Kadioglu delivered a superb performance for Turkey during their 3-1 win over Georgia at the 2024 European Championship.
The 24-year-old has been a key player for Fenerbahce over the past few years. He made 51 appearances last season, registering three goals and five assists.
Kadioglu can play in both full-back positions, but he has predominantly featured on the left flank where he started for Turkey earlier today.
He showed his class with his distribution in the opposition half, completing 66 passes with an accuracy of 94% – 51 of those came in Georgia’s half.
Kadioglu also created four key chances for his teammates. One of those was a cross which indirectly contributed to Mert Muldur opening the scoring.
The left-back made seven recoveries with two tackles won (100%) and three interceptions.
Arsenal are yet to make a formal approach for his services, but reports in Turkey have claimed that the club have already agreed personal terms with the versatile star.
Fenerbahce are open to parting ways with him for around £25 million this summer, but the big question remains whether the arrival of manager Jose Mourinho will change things.
Mourinho was only recently appointed as the new head coach of the Istanbul giants and he could provide resistance to the defender leaving Fenerbahce.
