Arsenal have agreed terms with a major star of Euro 2024, ahead of a surprise move.

The Gunners are getting on with business now after a slow start, having confirmed David Raya's permanent switch from Brentford and all but closed a move for Bologna star, Riccardo Calafiori. A striker has been heavily rumoured, while midfield reinforcements may be added, too.

But among all the expected areas of improvement, Basque boss Mikel Arteta might be about to strike a deal for a Turkey superstar that some weren't quite expecting.

The Turkey full-back has "agreed terms" with the north Londoners, according to the reports, but though he has had a breakout summer with his country in Germany, the move would raise eyebrows at this stage.

It's widely expected that Arteta is adding Calafiori to the squad to play at left-back, ahead of a plethora of options currently on the books. Jurrien Timber, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwior can all play in that position, while Kieran Tierney and Nuno Tavares are to return from loan this summer.

Kadiolgu not only adds another body there, he poses interesting questions as another right-footer on that side of the pitch. In FourFourTwo's view, terms may well have been agreed with him prior to the Calafiori deal developing - but links persisting with Arsenal are intriguing at this stage, given that there isn't the obvious place for him in the squad.

Kadioglu is worth EUR21 million, as per Transfermarkt.
