Arsenal are reportedly lining up a loan move for Kingsley Coman this summer, and Bayern Munich are open to letting the winger leave.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal are open to signing Kingsley Coman on loan, with contacts expected to be made in the coming period. Mikel Arteta seeks a new wide attacker in his ranks and could value the Frenchman’s experience, with Bayern Munich ready to offload him this summer.
Arsenal tracking Kingsley Coman?
Mikel Arteta needs a new winger before the window shuts, or at least that is what media reports say. There is a constant battle of wits about whether to land a new striker or winger, although they might still look to add a backup to Bukayo Saka.
The left-wing might have plenty of options ahead of the new season, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard nailed on to compete for that position. Hence, Arteta may want to add depth to the right wing and preferably sign someone as Saka’s backup and a replacement for Reiss Nelson, who could still leave before the window shuts.
Kingsley Coman’s name has been thrown into the mix, with Bayern Munich ready to loan out the 28-year-old if the deal comes with an option or obligation to buy. Arsenal are reportedly interested in a loan move for the experienced winger who has won more than a dozen trophies during a long career.
He primarily plays on the left-hand side, although he can be equally effective on the right wing. He could be a solid option if he can accept the role of Saka’s backup in this system, which is otherwise competitive. The report also states Coman would be open to the switch, although other teams are tracking with Manchester City, not among those chasing the Frenchman.
Will Arsenal sign Coman?
Arsenal had been looking at Nico Williams as their priority attacking signing this window, but there are considerable doubts over the Spaniard. He could join Barcelona or even stay put at Athletic Club following a renewal back in January.
As for Coman, he may be Arsenal’s contingent option now, although many factors may dissuade Arteta from making the move. His dreadful injury record from last season alone shows three different injuries that made him miss many games. The 28-year-old’s need for assurances over regular game time may also come as an obstacle, as the Gunners are unlikely to dislodge their wing options for the Frenchman.
