Some Arsenal fans have bee reacting to a report claiming the club could be set to move for Feyenoord starlet Orkun Kokcu this summer.

The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that the Gunners have been monitoring the teenager for around 18 months, and are considering making a swoop for the attacking midfielder.

Kokcu has been a regular in the starting XI this term, making 29 appearances so far across all competitions.

The Mail say the Dutch outfit would be open to selling their talented starlet, but would expect to receive and offer on excess of £15 million.

Arsenal are said to want to tie up a deal before the start of the European Championship, should be called up by Turkey.

The 19-year-old has represented Holland at U18 and U19 level, but has previously declared his intentions to play for Turkey at senior level – he is yet to be capped.

The Gunners would rather sign him early and not run the risk of him shining at the tournament and having more teams become interested in him.

The Mail add that several Spanish sides are already tracking the starlet.
