Even though the transfer window is about to come to an end, the rumors of players being linked to Arsenal does not seem like stopping any time soon.
One of them happens to be Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich who according to many reports, is a target for the Gunners.
There were some reports claiming that the North London club have made a €50m offer for Coman but now he has come forward with an update.
When the Frenchman was asked about a move to the Emirates, he had this to say as per Sport1:
“That’s not true. I’ve had no contact with Arsenal.
I’ve just extended my contract here at Bayern and I’m planning to stay for many more years.”
That does sound like it is pretty conclusive in the way that Coman has framed his reply. But, it could also be a case of him not wanting to attract too much attention as clubs generally like to be a little low key about their transfer dealings.
Coman has not helped the speculation as his activity on social media seemed to suggest that he was indeed on his way to becoming a Gunner. So, it promises to be an exciting period in whatever time there is remaining in the transfer window.
The reason for Arsenal looking at signing the Bayern Munich player is because they are looking for someone that can be fast and direct and also play on the wings. The Gunners do not really have a player like that apart from Reiss Nelson.
If they were to add a player like Coman to their ranks, it will give them another weapon to use and maybe that will allow new manager Unai Emery to play around with the formation. He has qualities that are a little different from the ones that the existing squad has.
Coman will have a point to prove after he was left out the French team that went to Russia and won the World Cup. If he does choose to come to Arsenal, it will be a real challenge for him. And perhaps this will motivate him to reach greater heights as a player.
