Arsenal are showing an interest in PAOK winger Giannis Konstantelias with the teenager showing real potential over in Greece.
That’s according to a report from the London Evening Standard, who claim that interest in Konstantelias is building.
It’s stated that Arsenal plan to scout Konstantelias later this month as they weigh up a bid for the wide man.
Premier League rivals Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also thought to be interested though.
Add in interest from PSV Eindhoven and Valencia and you start to realise that Konstantelias is a wanted man.
The report adds that Barcelona once took Konstantelias on trial as a 15-year-old but couldn’t agree a deal.
Rated at just €1million (£880,000) back then, it’s now believed that Konstantelias will cost around £10million.
Who is Arsenal and Leeds target Giannis Konstantelias?
Konstantelias, 19, has come up through the PAOK ranks having first joined the club at the age of just nine.
The winger has ascended to become a first-team regular now and has bagged three assists in 11 league appearances this season.
Capable of playing out wide or as a number 10, Konstantelias has shown the potential to be a versatile attacking threat.
A first senior cap for Greece surely isn’t far away, though Konstantelias currently only has one Under-21 cap to his name.
Hailed as a player with ‘tremendous quality’ with ‘huge potential’ over in Greece, Konstantelias is clearly highly rated in his home country.
Konstanelias has also had a loan spell away from PAOK, joining Belgian side Eupen for the second half of the 2021-22 season.
Konstantelias played eight times for Eupen, failing to register a goal or assist before heading back to PAOK.
Arsenal appear to have seen major potential in Konstantelias and Edu may well pounce to make him one for the future if he continues to impress.
