Orkun Kokcu distances himself from Arsenal speculation

Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu affirms that he is focusing on his future with the Eredivisie outfit amid speculation regarding a summer move to Arsenal.

Feyenoord starlet Orkun Kokcu has played down speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in the Eredivisie before the season was curtailed and has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates in recent weeks.

Recent reports had suggested that the Gunners were lining up a bid in excess of £20m for Kokcu, but the midfielder has affirmed that he is fully focused on his future with Feyenoord at this moment in time.

Speaking to RTV Rijnmond, Kokcu said: "It doesn't really matter to me, frankly. My father and my agent are busy with that.

"I try to isolate myself from that. That works fine. Fortunately, I am a footballer and not an agent.

"I want to make the best of it next season and want to be as fit as possible when the competition starts again.

"For now I'm only working with Feyenoord. I have a contract until 2023, so I'm not in a hurry. When the moment arrives and I feel good about it, we'll see."

Kokcu chalked up two goals and four assists as Feyenoord finished third in the 2019-20 Eredivisie season.
