Arsenal 'learn Layvin Kurzawa asking price'

By Matt Law, Football Editor | 22 January 2020

Arsenal are told that they will have to pay at least £4.2m in order to sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa in January, according to a report.

Arsenal have reportedly been told that they will have to come up with an offer of at least £4.2m if they wish to sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa before the end of the month.

The Gunners continue to be linked with a move for the Frenchman, who will see his contract in Paris expire at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

According to The Telegraph, PSG are open to selling the left-back during the January transfer window, although Arsenal would have to submit a bid of at least £4.2m in order to open contract talks.

Kurzawa has made 14 appearances for Thomas Tuchel's side during the current season but is behind Juan Bernat in the pecking order at the Parc des Princes.

Mikel Arteta's side are currently short of options at left-back with Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac both on the sidelines, which has seen 18-year-old Bukayo Saka pressed into action in that area of the field.

The capital side recovered from an early David Luiz dismissal and Jorginho goal to claim a point in Tuesday's Premier League clash away to Chelsea.
