PSG set to sign Grzegorz Krychowiak as new manager Unai Emery raids former club Sevilla for his first signing

Newly-appointed Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery is expected to wrap up his first signing within the next 48 hours by returning to former club Sevilla for £34million Poland Euro 2016 midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak.

Emery's brief in Paris is to win the Champions League and Krychowiak has been a major part in Sevilla winning back-to-back Europa League titles, beating Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in the final in May.

Arsenal were also interested in the 26-year-old holding midfielder before Arsene Wenger eventually opted for Granit Xhaka of Borussia Monchengladbach.

Emery has recently succeeded Laurent Blanc at PSG, who left the French capital after three years as manager of the club.

Blanc oversaw a trophy-laden tenure, winning Ligue 1 every season, but failed to progress beyond the quarter-final in the Champions League.

 


Krychowiak was part of the Poland side which reached the quarter-final of Euro 2016 before they were beaten on penalties by Portugal.

The 26-year-old started his career in France with Bordeaux. He had loan spells with Reims and Nantes, signing a permanent deal with the former in 2012.
