It would be clumsy to say that Kenan Yildiz would be making a name for himself if he has a good tournament this summer.
After extending his contract until 2029 last summer, the Turkey international took over the iconic No 10 shirt worn by some of the greatest players in the club’s history — but at just 20, there is still so much to be excited about.
Fleet-footed, fearless, and forward-thinking, Yildiz is a box of tricks in his desire to dribble past his opponent. Yildiz’s 113 take-ons are more than any other Juventus player in Serie A this season.
Much like his team, Yildiz’s form has fluctuated this season but there is undoubtedly enough evidence in his performances that he can be the key attacking weapon in Juventus’ attack.
As the club known as The Old Lady negotiates a tricky period in their recent history, Yildiz looks to be a window into their future.
