Turkey head coach Vincenzo Montella has showered praise on two of his best players - Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz and Inter playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu. He called Yildiz "a complete player" after his breakthrough at club level, and described Calhanoglu as "extraordinary" after the midfielder reclaimed a "fundamental" role at Inter. Montella’s backing comes as both men carry big club responsibilities and Turkey look ahead to World Cup qualifying tests.

Karim Adeyemi and Kenan Yildiz shared a light-hearted exchange in the pulsating 4-4 Champions League draw between Borussia Dortmund and Juventus. The pair, who once attended the same school in Germany, traded words after each scored spectacular goals. Both later clarified their comments, with Adeyemi jokingly telling Yildiz not to score again, while the Juve youngster recalled admiring his old friend as a role model.

Juventus boss Igor Tudor praised Kenan Yildiz’s discipline and talent, insisting the Turkish starlet has everything to become a top player.

Chelsea and Arsenal both attempted to sign Juventus wonderkid Kenan Yildiz in the summer transfer window, per a new report.

Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz has drawn comparisons to Barcelona star Lamine Yamal amid his standout performances for Juventus.
