Arsenal monitor 20yo striker ahead of January transfer window

Arsenal are monitoring Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane ahead of the January transfer window, according to a report from the BBC's Alex Howell. The Premier League club remains in the market for attacking reinforcements following missed summer targets. The 20-year-old Cameroon international has featured prominently on Arsenal's shortlist as they look to add forward options to their squad.

Kofane scored three goals across 178 minutes this season prior to suffering a hamstring injury that sidelined him for nine games. He recently returned to full training with Leverkusen, having previously recorded seven goals and nine assists last season, including appearances against Arsenal in the Champions League round of 16.
