Feyenoord midfielder Kokcu tipped for Arsenal move: He's looking good abroad

Former Feyenoord star Ali Boussaboun says Arsenal would be an ideal move for Orkun Kokcu.

The Feyenoord midfielder has been linked with the Gunners this season.

“Kökçü also looks good internationally," says Boussaboun at RTV Rijnmond. “Perhaps not at the absolute top, but certainly at the sub-top. Clubs like Arsenal.

"Kökcü may be worth fifty or sixty million in the future.

“He has so much energy now, you also see him sprinting back metres when losing the ball. He's finally got the fitness he needs and that's a compliment to the staff too. Because they are responsible for that plan. If you are eighteen years old, you play in Feyenoord 1 and you train several times a week, you think this is enough.

"Stefan de Vrij was also a bit older when he decided to invest more in himself."
