Arsenal consider bid to sign Feyenoord starlet Orkun Kokcu

Arsenal have reportedly expressed an interest in making an audacious move for Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu, according to Voetbal International.

The Gunners are ready to launch a bid to sign the Feyenoord starlet in this summer’s transfer window.

The north London outfit have been weighing up a bid to sign the 19-year-old midfielder over the past couple of months following a long-held interest in the teenager.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been a great admirer of the promising midfielder since his time at Manchester City.

The report goes on to claim that Arteta believes that Kokcu could fit into his philosophy at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal could face fierce competition from Sevilla after the Spanish outfit sent representatives to talk with Kokcu’s representatives.

The Turkish playmaker has contributed two goals and four assists in 22 appearances in the Dutch top flight this term.
