Arsenal could reignite interest in 21-year-old midfield prospect | Olympicsxsporty

Arsenal could reignite their interest in 21-year-old midfielder Orkun Kokcu who could be set to leave Feyenoord this summer.

Kokcu came through the Dutch side’s academy and has developed into an important young player for Feyenoord, featuring heavily in their European journey. Feyenoord take on Roma in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night, and it could be Kokcu’s last game for the club.

According to GOAL, Arsenal have been monitoring the midfielder for some time now, but they’re going to face stiff competition from Italian club Roma to secure his signature.


Thomas Partey has struggled with injuries this season, and Arsenal have found it difficult without him in the team. After qualifying for European football for next season, Arsenal’s fixture list is going to become even more congested, meaning the need for increased squad depth is vital.

Kokcu is a holding midfielder who would fit in nicely with Arsenal's system. Feyenoord mostly used a 4-2-3-1 structure this season, which is similar to Arteta's preferred shape, therefore the Turkish international should have no trouble adjusting to Arsenal's style.

Despite his youth, Kokcu is frequently selected for his country's national squad. The youngster, who was born in the Netherlands, played for the Dutch national team as a teenager until switching allegiances to Turkey in 2019.
