claims<\/a> that Bayern Munich will not be in the race for Kofane this summer. <\/p>\nThey are focused on extending Harry Kane\u2019s contract beyond 2027.<\/p>\n
Leverkusen are pushing to sell the Cameroon international for around \u20ac60 millio, and the Premier League is likely to be his next destination.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old joined Leverkusen from Spanish club Albacete last summer. He has recorded seven goals and eight assists across all competitions, despite not being a regular in the starting XI.<\/p>\n
Kofane also impressed at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring twice in four matches. He became the youngest goalscorer for Cameroon since Samuel Eto\u2019o.<\/p>\n
He is clinical in front of goal, holds up the ball well, can combine with teammates and likes to take long-range shots.<\/p>\n
Kofane took the opportunity to impress Arsenal manager Mike Arteta in the Champions League round of 16, despite Leverkusen losing 3-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n
Arsenal signed Piero Hincapie from Leverkusen last summer and will be hoping to leverage that relationship to secure Kofane\u2019s services.<\/p>\n
The Gunners could make changes to their attacking personnel this summer due to uncertainty over the futures of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.<\/p>\n
These changes could pave the way for Kofane and another forward signing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
