Orkun Kokcu told ESPN he is “very happy” to have stayed at Feyenoord after a potential transfer to Premier League side West Ham fell through.
Fabrizio Romano claims that West Ham expressed interest in Kokcu over the summer. Arsenal also took an interest in his services two years ago, but the 21-year-old decided to stay at Feyenoord.
“I have been playing here for eight years and I would also like to take that (next) step. But when I look at where we are now, I’m secretly so glad I stayed.” – Kokku said.
West Ham remain interested in signing another midfielder and the club has been linked to the likes of Sasa Lukic, but another move for Kokcu is not ruled out.
