According to Football Insider, Arsenal are leading the race for Kingsley Coman ahead of Tottenham Hotspur if they were serious about the 28-year-old serial trophy winner. Bayern Munich are reportedly open to selling the Frenchman, although there are doubts whether the experienced star is Mikel Arteta’s priority target.
Arsenal were interested in Kingsley Coman back in the January window, with reports stating a deal could not be pursued due to a series of factors. There’s no proof apart from some reports to link the 28-year-old serial trophy winner with the Gunners.
The Gunners are in pursuit of a left-winger ahead of the summer, with Coman’s name emerging once again in reports stating Arsenal were in contact with the player’s camp. The 28-year-old has only started 17 of the 37 games he has featured in, as either he would be ready to leave the club or the Bavarians think about selling him, as his current deal expires in 2027.
Meanwhile, the main story is about how Arsenal are ahead of Tottenham in the race, with the north London duo recently linked with the experienced winger. Spurs are not expected to be a preferred choice for Coman, as the Gunners represent an attractive proposition given their current status in England and Europe.
However, there are doubts whether Mikel Arteta is keen to sign the Frenchman in the first place. The Gunners are certainly interested in signing a new left-winger. Coman’s age might be a big factor as well as his recent history with injuries that could see Arsenal move on from him once and for all to target players that suit their long-term project.
Coman could still have what it takes to continue playing at the highest levels, even with Arsenal. However, Arteta has other targets on his list, as the Gunners are reportedly ready to trigger Nico Williams’s release clause, as he could be a player that would suit their long-term planning.
There were some big links to Anthony Gordon, but the Newcastle United star could be a very expensive acquisition if they were to further their interest. Either way, the Gunners are expected to sign a new left-sided attacker in the window, although there’s still no clarity on who might be their top target for the position.
