Breaking: Arsenal Join Manchester City In The Race For PSG’s Star Midfielder

Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester City are lining up a move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, according to reports.

The Polish midfielder who has joined PSG only in summer is available for transfer if a suitable bid comes as the French club are ready to offload him as he has a very limited role in the first half of the season.

The 26-year old has joined PSG from Sevilla after becoming one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe with his fine performances at the Spanish club which has seen them win three Europa League titles in a row.

He has played a massive part in their last two Europa campaigns which has prompted PSG to make a €30m move for him in the summer. But new manager Unai Emery, who has brought the player with him from Spain, has given him limited chances in the first half of the season.

The Spanish tactician has instead used veteran midfielder Thiago Motta in most of his recent games as Krychowiak has not started a single game for the French club in the past month. The French club have also signed Julian Draxler who can play a number of roles in attacking midfield which gave more depth to their roster going into the second half.

PSG are keen to balance their books and both Jese Rodriguez, Krychowiak could be leaving the club this month as they had very little to offer in the first half of the season. Both Arsenal and Manchester City are plagued with injuries to their stars at the crucial juncture of the season.

Arsenal have lost both Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin due to injuries while Manchester City have bigger problems as they have only Fernando on their roster who can be a world class defensive midfielder as Yaya Toure is at African Cup of Nations, Gundogan is ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury.

The Polish midfielder can also play as a centre-back which will surely tempt both the clubs to make a move for him before the end of the transfer window.
