The moment of truth has come for Arsenal. Authors of a great season, the Gunners must realize their great development by winning titles. A few days ago, they failed in the League Cup final against Manchester City (2-0 defeat). They plan to do much better in the Premier League, leading the championship with 70 points, 9 more than the Skyblues who have a game in hand. Still in contention in the Champions League, the residents of the Emirates Stadium can still lift the FA Cup. They will face Southampton on Saturday in the quarter-finals.
In short, Arsenal is on all fronts and determined to win trophies. Leaders are also working behind the scenes to prepare for the future. In recent days, the track leading to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has come out of the hat. But the Georgian will not move from Paris. This Thursday, Sky Germany put forward another name. That of Christian Kofane. This is not the first time that his name has come up in London. But the trend is clearly confirmed. His advisor, Eric Depolo, admitted that the Gunners are very interested in the Bayer Leverkusen player.
A big transfer is expected
Aged 19, this striker, who arrived during the summer from Albacete for €5.25 million, has scored 7 goals and provided 8 assists in 39 appearances in all competitions. The player under contract until 2029 has already attracted the attention of very big clubs including Arsenal. “Yes, Arsenal’s interest is serious. The coach (Mikel Arteta) likes him a lot. But their current priority is to win the championship title. We will then see (…) “I think it is too early to say, but given that the player speaks Spanish like Mikel Arteta and that William Saliba is from Cameroon, I would say that Arsenal have the best chances”admitted the player’s agent.
He also confirmed that other big fish are on the scene. These are Chelsea, FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich. But all these little people will have to put their hands in their wallets. According to Sky GermanyLeverkusen hopes to recover between €60 and €70 million for its player. But his agent assures that he is worth much more. “It’s worth 100 million euros. With Kofane, Arsenal would have a top striker for the next ten years. I have never received so many calls regarding Kofane. He is currently the best and most complete U21 striker in Europe. He is fast, technically gifted, very good in defense and excellent in the air. It is very rare to find all these qualities in a single attacker. It remains to be seen how much Arsenal will spend to afford this new gem.
