Fenerbahce supporters recently rioted after their side missed out on the Super Lig title to fierce rivals Galatasaray.

According to Turkish paper Milliyet, via Sportwitness, Arsenal are keen to swoop for full-back Ferdi Kadioglu.

They claim that the left-back, 24, is eager to move to the Premier League this summer and has already agreed terms on a move to the Emirates.

The Gunners are named as front-runners for his signature, with "concrete steps" having been taken to complete a transfer.

Kadioglu joined Fenerbahce from Dutch side NEC Nijmegen in 2018.

He has gone on to make 199 appearances for them, scoring 17 goals and laying on 22 assists.

Having played for the Netherlands at youth level, Kadioglu switched his international allegiance to Turkey in 2022.
