Christopher Nkunku at Arsenal: what Laurent Blanc said about the PSG star will excite fans

Emirati week may be busy and Unai Emery still does not plan to add to its squad this month.

Denis Suarez and Yannick Carrasco have both been badociated with a move to the club in recent weeks. However, it seems now that the Gunners will have to look elsewhere.

The first had the impression to fly to the Emirates, but Barcelona does not want to allow him to leave permanently.

according to reports from FranceParis Saint-Germain midfielder Christopher Nkunku could be the man heading north of London.

The versatile player has made 15 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 champions this season, although the vast majority of them have come from the bench.

Nkunku is clearly frustrated by his lack of chances at PSG and his agent revealed last week that the 21-year-old was open to transfer.

Arsenal seems to be looking for his signature and he's a player that Unai Emery knows very well after his stint in the French capital.

Laurent Blanc was the man who gave his debut at Nkunku and it is obvious that he notes it extremely well.

"He's a player I've loved since seeing him for the first time," said the Frenchman, reported by Get French Football News. "At that time he was a player come to help us, along with other players from the CFA team.

"When we train in Paris, with the strength we have, for a young player, it's difficult.

"If you go to a training session and you do not feel good technically, you will have difficulties.

"Immediately, I noticed the ease of his technique and I think I was not alone.

"The first players are attentive to the players who come.

"They look at them, they test them a bit and finally, if it suits them, they accept you, I told him," It's the hardest thing for you. "

"It's a nice surprise, he has a big advantage over his progress."

In another interview about the young man, he said: "It is very difficult to enter the first team, you must be ruthless, but at the same time, you must be comfortable with the ball Christopher (Nkunku) answers all these questions. "
