Arsenal have a clearer path to completing a record-breaking striker signing after Bayern Munich stepped aside, and comments from the player\u2019s agent strongly point to a move to north London.<\/p>\n
Whether Viktor Gyokeres is the long-term solution as Arsenal\u2019s No 9 remains to be seen. The Swede arrived with big expectations, and while his goals return of 16 in 42 appearances is obviously not disastrous, his overall performances have left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid\u2019s Julian Alvarez is a confirmed target, but is projected to cost in excess of \u20ac100m.<\/p>\n Instead, reports over the past 48 hours have gone big on Arsenal being frontrunners for Christian Kofane<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Bayer Leverkusen ace, 19, has burst on to the scene this year and is already a man in demand.<\/p>\n Sky Germany<\/em> recently revealed a summer swoop will set back the buying club around \u20ac60m-\u20ac70m. A move at the top end of that price range would make Kofane the most expensive teenager in Premier League history, surpassing Leny Yoro\u2019s switch to Manchester United.<\/p>\n Kofane\u2019s agent, Eric Depolo, has spoken to Daily Arsenal<\/em> and confirmed it\u2019s the Gunners who are front and centre for his client\u2019s signing\u2026<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> <\/em>\u2018Arteta likes him very much\u2019 \u2013 Agent confirms Arsenal talks for record-breaking signing<\/strong><\/p>\n However, the agent also reeled off a laundry list of rival clubs who could make Arsenal\u2019s life difficult, including Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n But according to the latest from Sky Germany\u2019s<\/em> Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal need not fear Germany\u2019s biggest club.<\/p>\n
