Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Zechiel

Arsenal and Chelsea are keeping tabs on Feyenoord midfielder Giwai Zehiel ahead of the winter transfer window. This is reported by CaughtOffside. The Dutchman returned to the Rotterdam club after loan spells at Sparta and Utrecht and quickly became an important part of the team. At the start of the season, Zechiel shows high productivity — 5 goals and 4 assists in 7 championship matches. Also, the football player created 19 scoring opportunities for partners and completed 89% of passes. Interest in the midfielder was shown in the summer. Lille have made several attempts to sign Zechiel, with their most recent offer being €17m including bonuses. Feyenoord refused the deal and does not plan to part with its player cheaply. According to CaughtOffside, both English clubs are already closely studying the situation around Zehiel ahead of the January transfer window. It is reported that Feyenoord can demand about 30 million euros for the player.
