Freiburg Star's Agent Confirms Arsenal Have Held 'Concrete Talks' Over Defender

The agent of Caglar Soyuncu has confirmed that Arsenal have held "concrete talks" with SC Freiburg to sign the 22-year-old, while insisting other clubs in Europe remain interested.

Soyuncu is considered by many as one of Europe's most promising centre backs, featuring 26 times in the Bundesliga last season, with his performances alerting the likes of the Gunners, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

However, Mustafa Dogru, the agent of Soyuncu, has stated that Sven Mislintat, head of recruitment at Arsenal, has held talks with the Bundesliga side, claiming he has been a huge admirer of the Turkish international since his time at Borussia Dortmund and that all that's left to agree is a fee.
