Turkish sensation Kenan Yıldız made headlines again on the international stage, netting for Turkey and bringing his total season contribution to 9 goals + assists across club and country. His scoring run has been particularly electric: three goals in his last two matches for the national team.
A Formidable Streak
Yıldız’s red-hot streak is no accident, it reflects a player growing in confidence, maturity, and influence on both fronts. In recent national team outings, he broke through defenses with composure and timing, showing that he’s not just a promising academy youth, but a genuine attacking threat ready for the spotlight.
His club form mirrors this uptick. In Serie A this season, he’s already recorded 1 goal and 3 assists in limited appearances (6 matches). For Juventus, a club that has entrusted him with the iconic number 10 shirt, these contributions underline just how much he’s being relied upon.
When you combine his national team goals with club output, the sum reaches 9 goal involvements this season, a benchmark that underscores his dual-threat status.
National Team Brilliance: 3 in 2 Matches
Scoring at the international level often places unique physical and psychological demands on a player, but Yıldız is embracing them. In his last two matches, he’s found the net three times, a blistering return that sends a message to opponents and fans alike.
One of those goals came in Turkey’s clash with Georgia, where Yıldız opened the scoring following a clever lob over the defense. His agility, spatial awareness, and finishing instincts were all on display, as he carved open defenses that had seemed resolute. The consistency is key: not just flashes of brilliance, but sustained delivery.
Talent Backed by Numbers
Looking deeper into the stats, Yıldız’s performances align with high-output young attackers. On FBref, he’s credited with 1 goal and 3 assists in 6 Serie A appearances this term, while also contributing in other metrics (e.g. shot creation) that bolster his overall influence beyond just finishing.
Over his career in Serie A so far, he has managed 9 goals and 4 assists not bad for a young talent gradually stepping into regular minutes. Meanwhile, his involvement in Juventus’ Club World Cup run earlier this year further highlighted his capability to perform on international stages.
The Bigger Picture: What This Means for Turkey & Juventus
For Turkey, Yıldız’s emergence comes at a timely moment. The national setup is in transition, balancing veteran influence with youthful energy. A player who can deliver goals and creativity from midfield or wide attack especially in crucial fixtures is invaluable. His three-goal burst in two matches adds real firepower to the squad.
For Juventus, the investment in Yıldız (he’s contracted until 2029) looks increasingly justified. The club see him not just as a future asset, but already as a contributor in Serie A, cup competitions, and continental matches. Rival clubs such as Real Madrid reportedly have their eyes on him. His progress this season could decide whether Juve can retain him.
If he keeps delivering especially across both club and country, Yıldız may soon ascend from “talent with promise” to “one of Europe’s must-watch names.”
