BREAKING: Arsenal closing in on €45m deal to sign Genk attacking midfielder this summer

Arsenal are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Genk wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas this summer.
 

The 17-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in Europe, and his standout performances in Belgium this season have attracted attention from several top clubs.

Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, and PSG have all been linked with a potential summer move for Karetsas in recent months.

However, it appears the Greece international is closing in on a move to the Emirates this summer.

According to Greek outlet Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, Arsenal are close to reaching an agreement with Genk over the signing of attacking midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas.

A fee understood to be in the region of €45 million is reportedly close to being agreed. If the transfer goes through, Karetsas would become the most expensive Greek player of all time.

The Gunners' plan is to allow Karetsas to remain at Genk for the 2025/26 season, with a view to preparing him for the English top flight next summer.
