Arsenal are weighing up a move for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, who is increasingly likely to leave the club before the transfer window closes.

The race for Kingsley Coman is heating up, with Arsenal now also in contention for the Frenchman's signature. According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to sign a new forward to add more competition for places.

Could Kingsley Coman make shock Arsenal switch on transfer deadline day?

Although the tabloid adds that the cost of bringing Coman to Arsenal would be key towards any successful move. Arsenal are set to face competition from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and FC Barcelona for the 28 year old's signature.

It is unlikely Arsenal would be able to match the wages on offer in Saudi Arabia, but Coman would be able to play UEFA Champions League football at the Emirates.

Bayern Munich already have an agreement in place with Al Hilal, but Coman reportedly wants to see if any top European clubs signal concrete interest in him before committing to the Saudi Arabian club.

Coman certainly has a decision to make on his future, with Bayern Munich hoping to sanction his sale before the transfer window closes on Friday. The Bayern bosses could look to sign another player if the winger is sold, with Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah being linked as a potential target.

A busy end to the summer transfer window awaits for Bayern Munich. And the future of Kingsley Coman is likely to dictate whether or not they can make any further moves to bolster their squad.
