Kingsley Coman will not be able to grab his dream shirt number if he signs for Arsenal on deadline day. However, the Bayern Munich forward might have his eye on an iconic alternative instead.
Emerging reports from The Daily Mail claim Edu and key figures upstairs at the Emirates Stadium are considering Coman as a last-gasp signing before the transfer window closes. Arsenal and their Premier League rivals have until 11pm on Friday night to finalise incomings and outgoings this summer.
David Raya, who spent last season on loan at Arsenal, Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino have been snapped-up already from Brentford, Bologna and Real Sociedad respectively. But is there one last move in the offing?
Coman to Arsenal has been a constant whisper this summer. The 28-year-old even touched down in north London this month, although that was to take part in a pre-season friendly with Arsenal’s rivals Tottenham.
The forward is tipped to leave Bayern amid interest from Saudi Arabia, while The Daily Mail article pinpoints Coman as potentially the final piece of the jigsaw for Arsenal this summer.
