Arsenal could reportedly look for a short-term deal to help replace injured star Bukayo Saka next January. With Kingsley Coman mentioned as an option.
The Bayern Munich winger has had a fantastic career at the highest level, however He was available on loan in the summer After losing popularity at Allianz Arena.
According to the latest from Evening standardIt looks like Coman could be an option for Arsenal again before January, with the France international potentially ideal as short-term cover for Saka.
Arsenal leads the race to sign INSANE 27 G/A talent!
Arsenal's title hopes have taken a potentially major hit with the news that Saka faces a lengthy layoff, with replacing the England international likely to be close to impossible.
We probably won't see Arsenal spending a fortune next January on a new world-class winger, but an experienced player like Koeman could be a decent replacement.
Kingsley Coman to Arsenal to help cover Bukayo Saka?
Coman is not currently at Saka's level, but he is certainly still good enough to do a job with the Gunners for a few months.
Mikel Arteta definitely needs to consider a signing like this as we haven't exactly seen other top players like Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli for some time now.
Even if Koeman is past his best, he is still only 28, so he could be keen to come to the Premier League and prove a point to some of his doubters.
There is intense competition for places at Bayern, which will make it difficult for him to show what he is still capable of, but he could get that chance to impress again at the Emirates Stadium.
This will be an interesting saga to follow, as one imagines there will certainly be other clubs willing to make a move for Koeman if Arsenal do not seize this opportunity.
