According to reports from The Metro yesterday afternoon, La Liga outfit Sevilla fear Arsenal are about to activate the release clause of star midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak.
The Poland international was in superlative form last term, averaging 3.3 tackles, 3 interceptions and 3.4 successful aerial duels per match domestically whilst helping Sevilla claim a second consecutive Europa League title – which saw him earn a place in La Liga’s Team of the Year.

The Express moot Manchester United as potential candidates for his signature; but Arsenal were strongly linked with the defensive midfielder earlier in the summer and according to reports on Wednesday, sent a delegation to watch him in action against Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup final.
And according to The Metro, Sevilla are now expecting Arsenal to activate the 25 year-old’s £21.4million release clause in the coming weeks.
The Express, however, believe the move could be scuppered by a broken rib – which Krychowiak picked up during the 5-4 defeat to Barcelona.
