Arsenal Enter Battle For £20m Rated Turkish Teenager Who’s Lighting Up The Eredivisie

Arsenal are keeping tabs on Feyenoord attacking midfielder Orkun Kokcu, according to the Daily Mail. The 18-year-old has become a regular starter for the Eredivisie side this campaign.

The Turkish Under 21 international, who is also eligible to play for the Netherlands, has started 12 games for Feyenoord already this season, scoring two goals.


Kokcu was handed his senior debut in the Dutch domestic cup last September, and he made an instant impact by scoring in a 4-0 win over VV Gemert.

The playmaker then followed that up with a stunning first league appearance two and a half months later, when he scored and provided an assist after coming on as a substitute. He has subsequently made 25 appearances in all competitions for the first team.

Feyenoord are believed to be prepared to sell Kokcu if an offer is made in the region of £20m, and it will be interesting to see whether Arsenal make their move in the near future.
