Agent Claims PSG Star Nkunku Is "Willing To Wait" To Get Arsenal Move

The agent of Paris Saint-Germain star Christopher Nkunku has claimed that the player is “willing to wait” to get a move to Arsenal.

Arsenal’s inability to sign players on permanent contracts has been frustrating during this January window with the Gunners looking to loan deals to get things done (via GFFN).

That seems to have worked out well as far as Denis Suarez is concerned but not, it seems, for another of the club’s targets.

Arsenal are said to be keen admirers of Christopher Nkunku and now, the player’s agent has provided an update on the potential transfer.

“I am here (in the studio) tonight, which is not a good sign. There is a real interest from Arsenal for Nkunku, but the discussions are quite complicated,” said agent José-Pierre Fanfan on French television, as quoted by GFFN.

“There are restrictions from Arsenal’s side, they cannot do a transfer in the middle of the season. It is still being discussed with PSG, things could still happen in the next 48 hours, but as I said, the fact that I am here means that it does not look good.

“His situation will be evaluated in June, then he will have just 1 year left on his contract, and his situation will need to be evaluated.

“He is a young boy, who needs to play, enjoy himself, and to sign up for a project for the long term, that is what he is looking for, and he was in that phase with Arsenal but it looks complicated, if we have to wait, then he is ready to do that, he will wait.”

It’s an interesting series of quotes from the player’s agent. Christopher Nkunku seems like a bright young talent and could be a good addition to the club in the long term. Perhaps it is too soon and a summer transfer would be better for everyone, even as a potential replacement for Denis Suarez.

Jenkinson: "I'm Training As Hard As I Can To Get Myself In The Team"

Carl Jenkinson has stated his desire to get back into the Arsenal first team following the injury to Hector Bellerin (via Arsenal.com).

It’s strange how things work out in football. Go back a few years and it was Hector Bellerin who stepped up for Arsenal when Carl Jenkinson was unavailable for selection. Now, it could be the other way around.

Jenkinson has been at the Emirates since 2011 but has made just 67 appearances for the club in all that time.

The Englishman took to the field in a Premier League match last night for the first time since November 2016 and now he wants to build on it.

“Now I’ve got to push on, I’ve got to keep working,” Jenkinson told Arsenal.com after the match.

“That’s what I do best, I’m pushing and I’m pushing. We’ve got top lads in the squad and whoever plays is going to do a job, but for personal pride of course, I want to be in the team.

“I’m training as hard as I can to give the manager a problem and get myself in the team.”

It’s hard to pick an Arsenal player more determined to play for the club than Carl Jenkinson. The 26-year-old has been used mostly as a backup option this season but could be handed a bigger role in the team in the coming months. Jenkinson’s performances have been good for the most part and he certainly deserves a chance.
