Exclusive: Arsenal Eye Loan Move for £270,000-a-Week Forward Kingsley Coman
Arsenal are reportedly considering a loan move for Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman during the January transfer window, according to GIVEMESPORT journalist Dean Jones. The deal hinges on whether Bayern Munich would be open to a temporary departure for the winger.
With Bukayo Saka sidelined for several months due to injury, Mikel Arteta may prioritize signing another forward to provide cover and competition. Although there were discussions about adding depth before the season started, Saka’s absence has made this need even more pressing.
Coman, described as “world-class” by Oliver Kahn, has struggled for consistent game time under Vincent Kompany at Bayern, starting only six Bundesliga games and two Champions League matches this season.
Bayern’s Approval Key for Arsenal’s Move
Dean Jones reports that Arsenal could pursue a loan deal for Coman if Bayern Munich agrees to a temporary transfer. Given Arsenal’s challenges in finding value in the market, a loan could be a cost-effective way to secure attacking reinforcement.
However, Coman’s £270,000-a-week wages would still make the deal a significant financial commitment. The versatile 28-year-old primarily plays on the left wing but is equally capable on the right, making him an ideal addition to Arteta’s squad.
With Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli struggling for form, adding Coman’s quality could bolster Arsenal’s title bid. As the January window progresses, it remains to be seen if the Gunners will strengthen their squad to stay competitive in the Premier League race.
