DBasia.news – Unai Emery, Arsenal manager, is one of the managers who is sorting out players during the 2019 summer transfer market. Given the news from Standard Sports, Christopher Nkunku is one of the players targeted by Arsenal.
Emery was familiar with the 21-year-old midfielder as he was the figure who orbited Nkunku from the PSG academy (Paris Saint-Germain). Nkunku is a versatile player who can be placed as a midfielder, defender, and wing attacker.
Arsenal has prepared 17.2 million pounds to purchase Nkunku from PSG in the summer transfer market. Nkunku, although still lacking in playing experience in Europe, was allegedly able to fill the position left by Aaron Ramsey.
Nkunku’s contract at PSG lasted until 2020. This season, Nkunku was played 21 times by Thomas Tuchel in Ligue 1. But, Nkunku was never Tuchel’s first choice to play regularly in the PSG squad.
Nkunku will be one of the recruits from the £ 40 million price tag given by management for Arsenal’s transfer spending. The back, center, and position of the attacking wing are areas that Emery wants to fix.
