Freiburg defender admits he would love to play at Arsenal

Arsenal target Caglar Soyuncu has admitted to Arsenal being interested in his signing before revealing that the move would interest him too.

“I hope I go to Arsenal,” he’s quoted as saying by Turkish publication Gunes.

“I really want to play in the Premier League, but everything depends on the team. I have a contract [at Freiburg] for three more years.”

The 22-year-old started his career at homeland side Altinordu before moving to the Bundesliga. He’s been contacted about a return to Turkey, but for now his focus is on sealing a move to a bigger European club.

“Yes, I received bids from some of the teams in Turkey,” he confirmed.

“I would not be able to give the team a name, but I did not accept it. I do not think about playing in Turkey at the moment. I want to continue my career in Europe, but of course, we do not know what will happen in the future.

“One day I wear the uniform of a Turkish club, but this is not necessarily the time. My current goal is to achieve greater achievements in a larger team.”

Media reports suggest Soyuncu could command a fee as high as €35m.
