• Arsenal’s two left-backs are out injured• Kurzawa, 27, out of contract in the summerArsenal are exploring the possibility of a deal for the
Paris Saint-Germain left-back Layvin Kurzawa as Mikel Arteta looks to reinforce a defence ravaged by injury. Contact has been made between the clubs and, although a deal remains some way off, Kurzawa is the leading candidate to fill what has become a problem position.
The move could be completed before the January transfer deadline and would appeal for several reasons, one of which would be its low cost given the 27-year-old’s contract with the Ligue 1 champions expires in June.
