Chelsea to rival Arsenal for Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu?

Chelsea are reportedly set to do battle with London rivals Arsenal for Feyenoord's Orkun Kokcu.

The Turkey Under-21 international enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in the Eredivisie before the season was declared null and void amid the coronavirus pandemic, registering two goals and four assists from 22 league matches.

However, the 19-year-old has allegedly informed the Dutch outfit of his desire to leave the club, and Arsenal have supposedly made contact with the player's entourage regarding a potential transfer.

However, according to Voetbal International's Martijn Krabbendam, Chelsea are firmly in the mix for the midfielder's signature.

The report also claims that Kokcu has garnered plenty of interest from other clubs abroad, with Roma, Atalanta BC, Real Betis and Sevilla all keeping a close eye on developments.

Kokcu will see his current deal at Feyenoord expire at the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
