French website Media Foot claim Layvin Kurzawa has been offered to Premier League clubs Leeds United and Everton this summer – after PSG left the French defender out of their pre-season tour of Japan this summer.

Kurzawa, 29, managed one solitary appearance for PSG last season – in the French version of the Community Shield. The 13-time France international is now approaching 12 months without playing a senior football match.

West Ham and Newcastle were linked with the ex-Monaco defender in January. He has spent seven years at PSG, playing 152 times – and having a hand in 36 goals. But now, PSG want the £89,000-a-week defender off the books.

The report states that he has changed the agency that represent him – to CAA Base. They are known to have a number of Premier League stars on their books, as well as ex-Leeds striker Chris Wood, according to TransferMarkt.

A move to England is considered to have a ‘good chance’ by Media Foot. The report says Leeds and Everton have been offered the PSG ace. He is not the only PSG player linked with Leeds; striker Arnaud Kalimuendo is a target.

Leeds desperately need a left-back. Junior Firpo is expected to be out until September with an injury, while Stuart Dallas is sidelined until the new year. Leif Davis, a 22-year-old rookie, has played in pre-season.

Jack Harrison too, but of course, he is naturally a winger. Everton do have Vitaliy Mykolenko – but lack competition. So, it is clear that both clubs could do with a left-back and Kurzawa is likely to be available on the cheap.
