Arsenal monitor Leverkusen striker Kofane

Arsenal are monitoring Bayer Leverkusen forward Christian Kofane as manager Mikel Arteta explores potential attacking options to bolster his squad. The 20-year-old Cameroon international has netted three goals in six appearances across all competitions this season, although he is presently sidelined with a hamstring issue. Kofane previously faced Arsenal in the Champions League last-16 stage during the previous campaign.

Kofane joined Leverkusen in July 2025 following a stint with Spanish club Albacete, totaling 10 goals and nine assists in 50 matches. Arsenal's monitoring comes despite winning nine of their opening 10 Premier League fixtures, as concerns remain over attacking efficiency. The Gunners previously missed out on targets including Vinicius Jnr and Julian Alvarez during the last transfer window.
