As The Pitch Prospect has learned, Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has received an offer from Arsenal.
Bayern are keen to get Coman off their payroll and Arsenal are considering signing another winger before Friday’s transfer deadline.

Saudi Arabia has also shown interest in France’s star Coman.
The 28-year-old joined Bayern Munich on loan in 2015 for two years and won the Bundesliga eight times. However, he recently lost his place in the club’s starting eleven.
During the 2023/24 season, he suffered several injuries that limited him to five goals and three assists.
Coman’s contract at the Allianz Arena still has three years to run, but the Munich team is open to parting ways with him.
Mikel Arteta is known to be looking to strengthen his attack, with striker Eddie Nketiah set to join Crystal Palace for £30 million.
Meanwhile, fellow winger Reiss Nelson, who once studied at Hale End, continues to face an uncertain future.
Arteta wants to compete with Bukayo Saka on the right wing, while Coman can play on either wing.
Arsenal had been flirting with the ambitious transfer of Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams, but the Spaniard is in no hurry to leave the Basque team.
This has prompted the Gunners to explore a possible move for former Juventus striker Coman.
Coman has played twice for FC Bayern in all competitions this season and scored a goal in the DFB Cup victory against second division side SSV Ulm.

He came on as a substitute in FC Bayern’s opening Bundesliga match in Wolfsburg, which Vincent Kompany’s team won 3-2.
Due to injury, Coman was only able to play 17 games in the top division last season, but was in the starting eleven 15 times.
Coman, who also won league titles with Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, has never scored more than eight league goals in a single season in his career.
His best result came in the 2020/21 season, where he scored eight goals and provided 15 assists.
However, his career highlight was the previous season, when he scored the only goal in the Champions League final against PSG.
