Arsenal are planning for the future and have set their sights on one of Bayer Leverkusen’s players, with a move under consideration.
Details: Speaking to DTalkingArsenal, agent Eric Depolo confirmed that Arsenal are closely monitoring Christian Kofane, who currently plays in Leverkusen.
Quote: "Yes, Arsenal’s interest is real. Mikel Arteta rates him highly (…) There has been contact established between myself and Arsenal. But right now, their focus is on winning the league. After that, things will start to move. He is a €100 million player. With Kofane, Arsenal would have a top striker for the next 10 years," the player’s agent stated.
This season, the 19-year-old Cameroonian forward has made 39 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing nine assists.
Reminder: Arsenal’s 24-year-old right winger and England international Noni Madueke could be sidelined for an extended period due to a knee injury.
