Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta looks set to miss out on Orkun Kokcu, despite the Gunners having kept tabs on the young midfielder for two years.
The Gunners were linked with the Feyenoord starlet back in the 2019-20 season, shortly after Arteta took over from Unai Emery as permanent manager at the Emirates Stadium.
Kokcu, who turned 21 in December, has continued to go from strength to strength in Rotterdam, while his first senior international goal in November helped Turkey seal their place in the World Cup qualifying play-offs.
