With the future of Matteo Darmian still a question mark with rumours in Italy appearing daily about Serie A clubs wanting the Manchester United full-back, links with players in the Italian’s position are to be expected.

Similarly, with Mathieu Debuchy out injured and with Carl Jenkinson far from a regular in Arsène Wenger’s squad, that Arsenal want a new right-back shouldn’t come as a surprise.

With all of this in mind, Calciomercato linking Feyenoord’s Rick Karsdorp to both clubs over the weekend really shouldn’t be a surprise, especially following his performances with Feyenoord.

The player has already played twice against José Mourinho’s Manchester United in the Europa League, and played in all but 11 minutes of Feyenoord’s games this season, scoring a goal and picking up four assists in 23 appearances.

Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are also reported as having an interest in the 21-year-old, and SoccerNews in Holland also claim that all four clubs have already been in touch with Feyenoord’s director of football Martin van Geel about a transfer..

The Dutch website do make it clear that a transfer away from Feyenoord for Karsdorp isn’t something the club want, but that financially speaking, it could certainly be beneficial, with the money the clubs interested have.

With a contract running until 2020, the power is in Feyenoord’s hands to make any deal as expensive as possible, and that’s always a good position to be in for the selling club.
