Nigerian Defender Kayode Attracting Interest From Arsenal
Premier League giants Arsenal recently sent scouts to watch Italy-born Nigerian right-back Michael Kayode, who currently plays for Fiorentina in the Serie A.
Kayode broke into Fiorentina’s first team this season and has already made six appearances, providing an assist in the recent 3-0 win over Cagliari.
According to Football Italia, representatives from Arsenal and Italy coach Luciano Spalletti were in the stands in Fiorentina’s recent game keeping a close eye on the talented 19-year-old.
A product of Juventus’ youth system, Kayode spent seven years attached to the club before joining Serie D side Gozzano, initially on a two-year loan before making a permanent move in 2020.
