Agent says Manchester United striker target will turn down Arsenal approach

Dynamo Moscow striker Aleksandr Kokorin will consider approach from Arsenal due to their lack of trophies, according to his agent.

The 24-year-old is attracting interest from the Premier League clubs and his representative earlier admitted the Russian international could join either of Gunners’ rivals, Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United.

“There is every reason to believe he will end up at either Manchester United or Tottenham,” the Metro quoted Christophe Yutto as saying.

Arsenal ended their nine-year long trophy drought by winning the FA Cup in 2013/14 season. The north London club managed in defending the cup as they won it last term as well, which saw them become the most successful team in the history of the competition.
