Karim Rekik It was one of the surprises of the Sevilla FC in the last transfer market. The Dutch central signed the last market day to cover a position in which the Nervionense squad had first-rate pieces, but which lacked spare parts. Circumstances have meant that he has had to play more as a left-back than as a central defender and there he has shown the good background of the team’s wardrobe.
After three years at Hertha Berlin, Rekik needed to make the leap and play for a top European club. But, unlike what happened when he went from PSV to Olympique de Marseille and, later, to Hertha, this time his brother Omar did not accompany him.
The young man, just turned 19, has been growing up with his brother, is central like him and this year he is still in the second team of Hertha Berlin, which plays in the German Regionalliga Nordost. But his qualities have caused him to arouse the interest of powerful clubs and give him the option of taking the leap without the coverage of Karim.
According to the daily Bild, Arsenal are trying to sign him and Hertha would have given him permission to undergo medical tests prior to his possible signing. The director of the Arsenal Academy is the German central Per Mertesacker, who has followed Omar Rekik since the summer and would be his supporter. And the pass would be made for 600,000 euros. And that he has not yet debuted in the Bundesliga … Aim very high.
