Arsenal 'very close to announcing Layvin Kurzawa deal'

Arsenal are 'very close' to announcing the completion of a five-year deal for Paris Saint-Germain's Layvin Kurzawa, according to a report.

Arsenal are reportedly nearing a deal for out-of-favour Paris Saint-Germain left-back Layvin Kurzawa.

The Frenchman was linked with a move to the Emirates in January following injuries to Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac, but ultimately remained at PSG where he has chalked up 14 appearances in Ligue 1 this season.

Recent reports had suggested that Barcelona were at the head of the queue for the 27-year-old, who is out of contract in the French capital this summer.

However, according to Spanish outlet TodoFichajes, Arsenal are set to win the race to sign the France international on a free transfer this summer.

The report claims that Arsenal have already agreed a five-year contract with Kurzawa, and the Gunners are supposedly 'very close' to confirming the deal.

Kurzawa has chalked up 13 goals from 123 appearances across all competitions for PSG since arriving from Monaco in 2015, but has played second fiddle to Juan Bernat for the majority of the 2019-20 campaign.
