Arsenal consider move for highly rated Bundesliga striker

Arsenal are considering a potential January transfer move for Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane to bolster their attacking options. According to a BBC report cited by talkSPORT, the 20-year-old Cameroonian forward has emerged as a target for manager Mikel Arteta. Arsenal have struggled for clinical finishing this season despite leading the Premier League, relying heavily on Kai Havertz while £63.7 million signing Viktor Gyokeres has started only once in the league.

Kofane has scored three goals in six appearances for Leverkusen this season, though a hamstring injury has sidelined him since October 10. Overall, he has registered 10 goals and nine assists in 50 matches for the German club since signing in July 2025. Arsenal have also reportedly monitored Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi as an alternative option.
