Arsenal Among Host Of Premier League Clubs Tracking Dutch Teenager After Remarkable League Debut

Arsenal had scouts in attendance as Feyenoord attacking midfielder Orkun Kokcu made a hugely impressive league debut against Emmen on Sunday, according to the Daily Mail.

The 17-year-old was only on the bench for the Eredivisie clash at the weekend but was sent on at halftime by manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.


Kokcu made an instant impact, creating the chance for Steven Berghuis to make it 2-0 in the 70th minute, before scoring himself to make it 3-1 thirteen minutes from time.

The midfielder had already impressed on his first senior appearance in the Dutch Cup back in September, when he also scored in a 4-1 win over VV Gemert.

Against Emmen, representatives from PSV and Borussia Dortmund were also at the game to see the Kocku in action, but they are not the only teams keeping tabs on the teenager.

The Netherlands Under 19 international is also reportedly being tracked by Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain with the Gunners preparing for a battle to land the talented midfielder.
