Arsenal have moved ahead of Liverpool in signing powerful Senegalese defender Cheikhou Kouyate.
The 24 year old center back has a strong desire to play in the Premier league according to his agent Saffet Balkan who stated:
“I have been in talks with representatives from Liverpool and Arsenal over Cheikhou Kouyate.”
“Arsenal are very interested in Kouyate. It’s very likely that he’ll be joining a Premier League club soon.”
Kouyate was close to joining Arsenal in the past but the deal fell through as he was not granted a work permit.
