Arsenal are once again being linked with a move for PSG midfielder Christopher Nkunku.
The Gunners tried to sign the 21-year old on loan in January, but were rebuffed by the French club who preferred a permanent sale instead.
Now he is back on Arsenal’s radar again, with Unai Emery keen to sign a player he helped bring through from the youth ranks when he was in charge of the Parisians.
Nkunku is out of contract with PSG in 2020, and they are willing, reports The Evening Standard to let him leave in the summer provided that his €20 million (£17.2 million) release clause is met.
The French under-21 international can play either in central midfield or on the wing, and has made 75 appearances for PSG, a club he joined aged 13. However, he is looking for more regular first team football, having been left out of their Champions League squad this season.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
