According to reports from RMC Sport, Arsenal Layvin Kurzawa’s target made a decision about his future.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender was out of contract at the end of August and was heavily connected with a pass to Mikel Arteta’s Gunners during the January transfer window.
Interest in Arsenal went to the summer window, with France Football stating in early June that contacts remained for a possible move and that Arteta loved Kurzawa’s attacking profile.

However, despite having only made 14 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, it appears that both PSG and Kurzawa have decided to stay rather than squirm.
According to RMC Sport, Kurzawa – who has made 123 appearances in competitions for PSG – is about to sign a new four-year extension of his contract in the French capital.
TBR view:
Although Kurzawa’s form has been somewhat mixed in recent years, losing his PSG first-team spot against Juan Bernat, the £ 102,000 a week man is still a high quality player more than capable of offering the maximum levels.
As PSG has lost several players on the loose this season, in addition to the football industry that is preparing for a huge financial blow following the global health crisis, it seems that French champions have decided not to add Kurzawa to that. list and end having to look for a replacement.
It is a shame for Arsenal if the reports were to be true and were to lose the France national team with 13 appearances, but at the same time, the Gunners have Bukayo Saka, Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac in their ranks, so it is not that by pressing a problem compared to, let’s say central defense.
