Arsenal supporters are keen for the club to recruit Kingsley Coman after it was confirmed that Bayern Munich will let the Frenchman leave on loan.
Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg says that Bayern are “open” to a loan deal, with an option to buy.
Considering that the Gunners are in the market for a winger, fans on X believe that Coman would be a very good addition to the squad:
get him to emirates asap!

There are pros and cons to signing Coman
The fact that the 28-year-old is available on loan is definitely a bonus for Arsenal, who could sign the player without it causing any issues with PSR.
However, Coman is a left-winger and it is believed that manager Mikel Arteta is keener on strengthening the right flank in order to provide more competition for Bukayo Saka.
There are also concerns about Coman’s injury record. Last campaign alone, he picked up FIVE separate injuries, keeping him out of action for 21 matches in total.
Arsenal have considered targeting another Bayern winger
It has been reported that the Gunners have been weighing up a move for Coman’s teammate Leroy Sane. Arteta worked with the German at Manchester City and, with the winger in the last year of his contract, he could be picked up relatively cheaply.
One key difference, though, is Sane remains open to staying with Bayern and signing a new deal. Coman’s future, meanwhile, lies away from the Allianz Arena.
