According to sources close to Football Insider, Arsenal is reportedly considering the unexpected move of signing Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman for a season-long loan. Pete O’Rourke, a senior correspondent for Football Insider, revealed that Bayern Munich is willing to let Coman leave this summer in a recent episode of the Inside Track podcast. Any loan agreement would, however, probably contain a clause requiring Arsenal to purchase the player when the loan is over.
The 28-year-old Coman is rumored to be considering a summer transfer to Arsenal. Before signing any contracts, he is anticipated to inquire about guarantees about his playing time at the Emirates. Before the transfer window closes on August 31, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eager to bolster the team’s depth on the wings, and Coman is one of several wide forwards the team is keeping an eye on.
A number of elite European clubs have expressed interest in the French winger due to his availability, and they are now closely monitoring his circumstances in case a late transfer window opens.
When pursuing Coman, Arsenal may encounter fierce competition from other top European teams. Following his 2017 transfer from Juventus to Bayern Munich, Coman has played 294 games for the German team. After appearing just 27 times in the previous season, Coman is reportedly looking for more regular playing time despite his success, which includes multiple titles. But, given that Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is a well-established right winger, Coman might want to think about how much playing time he would actually receive at the Emirates.
Coman’s experience and winning mentality would be a great asset to Arsenal, who still have a young team, as he would provide leadership. The team is motivated to put up a better fight this year after finishing second in the Premier League to Manchester City the last two seasons. However, considering the fierce competition from other elite clubs throughout Europe, getting Coman to sign will be difficult.
