Arsenal have been told they must pay £4.2 million to finally secure a deal to sign PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa,

The good news for the Gunners is that the Parisians are willi𒉰ng to let their player leave the club this month.

Kurzawa has been in and out of the side in L🍬igue 1 this season st✱arting just six times for the league leaders.

The left-back has 13 caps for France🔥 and h🎀as been at PSG since signing from Monaco for £20 million in 2015

During his five years at the club, he has played 114 games, scorꦕing 12 goals and registeri🎀ng 20 assists.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is in need of a left-back. Kieꦿran Tierney is out with a shoulder problem and Sead Kolasinac has also be🥀en missing in recent weeks.

K🌊urzawa would certainly bolster Arteta’s ranks and it remains to be seen whether the clu𝔍b will stump up the cash.

He has fallen behind Juan Bernat in the Franch capital and holds a desire to leave in search of 𒐪regular football.

Adding Kurzawa will add a l♛ittle bit more balance to the team’s back four.

In recent weeks Bukayo Sako has done a grand job of deputising at left-back but he isn’t a natural ꦦthere.

The Arsenal player will see his long-term future on the wing and Arteta will be able to uti🍷lise him as such if Kurzawa signs.

Signing an international is no bad thing and the Gunners are getting themselves a player with lo🥃ts of experience.

Kurzawa’s style of play is all a♉bout bombing forward and that would make him ideal for Ar🔯senal.

In🌳 Arteta’s style, the full-backs have typically been given the freedom to push on and that would suit the Frenchman.
