Arsenal target Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane

Arsenal are interested in Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane ahead of the winter transfer window, according to BBC.

Arsenal scouts have been tracking the 20-year-old forward for a long time. The club want to improve their attacking output in the second half of the season. They are also looking at versatile players such as Antonio Nusa because of a lack of options on the left of the attack, but signing an out-and-out striker remains under consideration as neither Kai Havertz nor Viktor Gyokeres has scored consistently this season.

Kofane is currently recovering from a hamstring injury. Before the injury, the young striker scored three goals in six appearances for the club in all competitions.
