Arsenal Target Mazraoui Rejects Premier League Move, Gunners Eye Torino’s Singo

Arsenal will not be able to recruit Noussair Mazraoui. The Ajax star says he is not interested in a transfer to the Premier League, while the Gunners had hoped he would follow in the footsteps of former Moroccan international Marouane Chamakh who played for the London club from 2010 to 2013, reports De Telegraaf. If it proves impossible for Arsenal to sign the 24-year-old player, the Gunners will have to focus on their attempt to recruit the Turin right-back Wilfried Singo who will replace defender Cedric Soares at the end of the season.

In addition to Arsenal, other European clubs have also expressed interest in Noussair Mazraoui, whose game strategy is seducing. Among them, FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan. The Moroccan international’s contract with Ajax Amsterdam expires in less than six months. The player has also already expressed his willingness to leave the Ajacides. "The chances of staying at Ajax are very low, maybe 5%. I’m open to novelty. I’ve been playing here for 16 years and I think it’s the right time to leave Ajax," he had told the press. For their part, the Dutch club’s management also say they are ready to let him go.
