Napoli right back Kevin Malcuit’s agent has given a massive hint over the player’s possible move to Arsenal.
Arsenal are searching for reinforcements in this winter transfer window and a number of injury issues have forced the club to act in this month. Unai Emery has already given a positive update on the transfer situation and we could see a number of players arriving at the Emirates stadium before the conclusion of the transfer market.
Earlier France Football reported the Gunners made an approach for the defender. Malcuit arrived at the Italian club in the summer from Lille but hasn’t been able to establish his authority in Naples. With Nikola Maksimovic and Elseid Hysaj also competing for a position in the starting lineup it would be a bit tough for the French defender.
Following the injury of Hector Bellerin, bringing a cover in that position has become evident and Malcuit could be the solution to their problem. Bruno Satin who happens to be his agent said, “Malcuit is a very original guy.
“He has this strange air that make him more recognizable when he plays. Everybody has fun with him. His nickname is ‘carbonara’. He has many friends at Napoli, especially Mertens. They are close friends. I suggested Napoli to sign him because they were struggling to close the Lainer deal”.
“There is a football club in London that want to sign a right-back and has asked information about him. His permanence in Naples, however, is not in doubt. Arsenal? Could be them, but it’s not sure. Malcuit feels well in Naples and is happy to work with Carlo Ancelotti”.
