Mikel Arteta is reportedly eyeing up a move for Kingsley Coman. The 28-year-old has started only 11 matches in the Bundesliga this season, scoring four goals across 23 appearances, which could spell an end to his time at Bayern Munich.

According to Sky Germany, the Bundesliga giants Bayern have decided they are willing to sell the Frenchman and Arsenal have already made contact with the winger’s representatives.

Bayern are hoping to land £34m for the winger – but that fee could rise even further for clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
