Arsenal are reportedly handed a boost with their efforts to sign Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu during the next transfer window.

Arsenal have reportedly been encouraged to step up their interest in Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu.

Since the turn of the year, the Gunners have been heavily linked with a bid for the 19-year-old, who has contributed two goals and six assists from 27 appearances this season.

Given the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, it appears that Feyenoord will welcome any offers for the prospect.

According to Voetbal International, the Eredivisie outfit will have to make player sales in order to bring in their own transfer targets.

The report claims that Feyenoord will only be able to move for Heerenveen's Joey Veerman if they can cash in one of their star men.

Kokcu, who has over three years left on his contract, could cost in the region of £23m.
