Ferdi Kadıoğlu is proving why he has been on Arsenal’s shortlist for a long time with some fine performances for Turkey at Euro 2024.
The Fenerbahce star plays as a left-back and left-winger for Turkey and has been superb, showcasing his versatility by also playing as a right-back and in midfield.
The Gunners have found him interesting since last season, but they have yet to make an official approach to sign him.
That could change after watching him at the Euros. Turkish commentator Fatih Doğan has urged Arsenal to make their move for him now and stop wasting time.
Doğan has been impressed with Kadıoğlu’s performance at the Euros and insists he needs to play for a top club like Arsenal.
He told Ajansspor:
“The Arsenal team, which came to follow Ferdi, the best left-back of the tournament, yesterday, should give a report of: Let’s give €50m and buy him immediately.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Kadıoğlu has been one of the most talked-about Turkish talents. He is made for a bigger club, so we should probably try to add him to our squad.
Several clubs would be following him, so he might not come cheap, but he certainly can do a good job for us.

Arsenal are not going to buy both Calafiori and this guy
the fact Arsenal have bid for Calafiori it tells us what the preference
so ‘no’ do not buy Kadioglu now, that would make no sense
If Arsenal succeeds to sign Richado Calafiori @ €55m as being reported that they will want to pay that amount to sign him this summer. But would Arsenal still go after the signing of Ferdi Kadoglu during this same summer window and at what cost!
I think only one position in the Arsenal’s defence of last season has become vacant for filling this summer.. After Cedric Soares left the team at the end of last season..
We need them both. We need a strong second 11. We have to win something this season. We cannot chase only the league and ucl. We need a second 11 that can win the FA cup or EFL on their own.
Ferdi starts at left back, Calafiori starts ahead of Gabriel for the other competitions giving him time to get to terms with his new environment and teammates. He doesn’t need to be under too much pressure immediately.
Ferdi is far more versatile and could be helpful if we have injuries.
no we do not need them both – end of
Maybe he is on the list as a back up in case the deal with Calafiori goes sour with his wage demands etc.
Or
A big exit for two or three leftbacks on the cards.
Or
Don’t be surprised if Timber gets moved up into midfield!
Timber in midfield, Hmmm?
Is that like Partey at right back, and Saka as left wing back.
Or maybe Zinc in midfield, or perhaps Havertz in midfield,
Those were great ideas to.
You think they were great ideas, hmmmm.
I think they were terrible ideas, but your entitled to your opinion I suppose, each to their own.
I think JW was being sarcastic there.
Timber plays 6. So we sign a striker and a winger. And keep Kiwior of course
