Berta’s mission in Istanbul was not limited to Osimhen, as he also closely followed Baris Alper Yilmaz. The 25-year-old Galatasaray winger has established himself as one of the Super Lig’s most promising talents, mainly thanks to his incredible versatility on the pitch. Versatile, he can play on both wings or play up front, and his defensive qualities, already exhibited as a right-back last season, have caught the attention of the Old Continent’s best recruiters.
The Turkish international is today an essential link in Okan Buruk’s system. As Arsenal look to redefine their options on the wings while continuing their quest for a centre-forward, Yilmaz’s versatility makes him a perfect fit for Arteta’s system. Berta has already started preliminary discussions with the leaders of Galatasaray to find out about the contractual situation of the best elements of the club.
