Arsenal Very Close to Signing 17-Year-Old Midfielder in £38 Million Deal: Reports
- Arsenal are very close to signing 17-year-old attacking midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas from Belgian club Genk for around £38 million.
- This transfer interest follows Karetsas' rise as a top European talent who extended his Genk contract last November and attracted multiple elite clubs.
- Karetsas, who has Greek heritage but was raised in Belgium, featured in 43 matches this season, netting three goals and assisting five times, and became the youngest player to score for Greece at 17 years and four months old.
- Genk head coach Thorsten Fink praised Karetsas' quality after his award-winning long-range goal, while Karetsas said he feels trust from the club and aims to grow close to family.
- Arsenal plan to loan Karetsas back to Genk for his development before integrating him into Mikel Arteta's squad, and the deal would set a new record fee for a Greek player.
