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.
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.
