Barcelona star the subject of €65m Arsenal interest | OneFootball

A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Thursday been linked with a move to England, with Arsenal.

The player in question? Jules Koundé.

Defender Koundé has for his part of course played a starring role for Barcelona across the season to date.

One of the first names on the team sheet of boss Hansi Flick, the Frenchman has racked up 51 appearances across all competitions.

Not only that, but along the way, Koundé has chipped in with three goals and an impressive eight assists.

And as alluded to above, such ongoing excellence on the part of the former Sevilla man has evidently not gone unnoticed in the Premier League.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘Arsenal are reportedly preparing a move for the full-back and are willing to make an offer of €65 million, according to TEAMtalk.’

Barcelona, for their part, remain ‘calm’ when it comes to Koundé’s future, currently working towards tying the right-back down to a new long-term contract.
