Jules Kounde to Arsenal transfer: Xavi exit admission, Barcelona stance, Chelsea interest

Barcelona star Jules Kounde could be on the move this summer despite his starring role in the Catalan giants La Liga win. The 24-year-old only joined Barca last summer from Sevilla after snubbing a move to Chelsea, but new reports in Spain suggest an exit is possible ahead of the 2023/24 season.

Playing the majority of the season at right-back has seen Kounde score one goal while also grabbing six assists from 38 appearances. Of those games played, 17 have come at centre-back with his versatility clearly a big attribute in his game that Mikel Arteta would love.

The Gunners are hoping to bolster their defensive depth this summer with Marc Guehi, Edmond Tapsoba and Mohamed Simakan just a few of their targets.
