Arsenal meanwhile were reported to have made a £10.5 million bid for the centre-back which was turned down according to Fotomac.

The report claims that the Gunners are considering their options in regards to a second move.

A source close to the club revealed to Turkish-Football that Fenebahce are not interested in selling Kjaer for less than their £17.5 million valuation.

Kjaer does have another two-years remaining on his contract and has established himself as a star player as well as a fan favourite.

The 28-year-old’s agent Mikkel Beck revealed that his client is happy at Fenerbahce and will not consider an offer unless it happens to be from a European giant.
