Switzerland Under-21 star Eray Comert attracting interest from Arsenal as top clubs plot transfer moves for defender

  • Arsenal are tracking Basel defender Eray Comert after impressive displays 
  • The Switzerland Under-21 star may earn a senior call-up for games in March 
  • Comert's current deal expires in 2020 and Basel are willing to sell in the summer 

Arsenal are among the clubs keeping tabs on Switzerland Under 21 international Eray Comert.

And Gunners scouts have watched Comert regularly so far this season with a view to a summer move.


Everton also have a concrete interest in the 21-year-old and considered a £7million bid for Comert, who is expected to earn his first senior international call-up in March, last month.

Comert's deal expires at the end of next season and has rejected two extension offers from Basel.

And a number of clubs will look to take advantage of the defender's uncertain future this summer, with Basel set to listen to offers from around £5million to avoid losing Comert for nothing if he does not sign fresh terms.
