European side considers move for underwhelming Arsenal summer signing

Signed in the summer from from Chelsea for €5.8m, the 31-year-old is under contract until 2028 in London but Besiktas are eyeing him as a potential signing this summer with his value down from a high of €60m in 2019 to just €7m today.

Ideally, they want to sign Filip Jörgensen from Chelsea, who has a value of more than twice that of Kepa and is under contract until 2031.

That is all probably a bit pricey for a club whose total team is worth just €60m more than Bukayo Saka. Besiktas’s record fee is €30m – the only time they paid above €20m for a player, and they have paid more than €8m for a player just seven times in their history.

According to a report out of Turkey, Besiktas see Liam Rosenior‘s sacking as the perfect chance to move for Jörgensen, who was preferred by Rosenior to Robert Sanchez but is currently sidelined after groin surgery. He has already been sidelined for 50 days and there is no date for his return at the time of writing.

Sabah claim that Jörgensen is open to the idea of a move in search of more regular playing time, however, if that move does not happen, they are assessing the chances of signing Kepa from Arsenal.

Should Kepa decide to move on this summer, it’s hard to see Arsenal standing in his way.
