Arsenal are 'in advanced talks' to sign PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa

Layvin Kurzawa

Arsenal's injury crisis at left-back has plagued them all season and it appears as if they are looking to plug the gap.

The Gunners signed Kieran Tierney from Celtic in the summer for £25m and he is believed to be the long-term first choice.

However, Tierney's recent dislocated shoulder will keep him out until March, this comes just after returning from another injury problem.

Sead Kolasinac has performed well in Tierney's absence, especially under new boss Mikel Arteta.

According to David Ornstein at The Athletic, the Gunners are now in advanced talks with PSG's Layvin Kurzawa.

Kurzawa's contract runs out in the summer and Arsenal are confident of securing his services this month for little or no cost.

Kurzawa joined Paris from Monaco in 2015 for £22.5m, but has since struggled to maintain a place in the starting eleven.
