Orkun Kokcu has confirmed that he’d like to remain with Feyenoord despite interest from Gunners and Sevilla. The 19-year-old playmaker has admitted that he isn’t set to leave Feyenoord yet, with the attacker hoping to help the Rotterdam outfit to the Eredivisie title next campaign.

Orkun’s target of the title next campaign isn’t outlandish at all, the ace has helped Feyenoord to a third-place finish this campaign, the Eredivisie has been curtailed due to the covid pandemic. U21 Turkey international has already won two Under-21s caps for the Crescent-Stars.

Orkun has scored twice and chipped in with four assists in 22 league games this campaign, the playmaker has also contributed two assists in five Europa League group stage outings this term.

The Turkish playmaker switched his international allegiance to Turkey last summer after representing Holland at Under-18s and 19s level, Orkun has now emerged as one of Turkey’s top talents.
