Arsenal rejected the option of transferring strikers in January, even as their attacking problems became worse.
Mikel Arteta’s men have found it difficult to score goals in recent weeks due to Kai Havertz’s shot drops and injuries to key players. Indeed, Bukayo Saka will be sidelined for an extended period of time, Gabriel Jesus will miss the rest of the season and even Ethan Nwaneri will not be able to play.
Meaning Arsenal fans are demanding that at least one striker sign the window, although the club have chosen not to listen after two players were rejected.
Arsenal will host Randal Kolo Muani and Kingsley Coman
According to Daily mail, Arsenal turned down the opportunity to sign both Randal Kolo Muani and Kingsley Coman in January, deeming the French duo too expensive and not very valuable.
Kolo Muani has made just two league appearances for PSG this season, but arrived in France in the summer of 2023 on a deal worth over £70 million after scoring 23 goals in all competitions for Eintracht Frankfurt last season.
But during PSG were willing to loan Kolo Muani to Arsenal, the French side were also keen to include a £50m buyout clause in the deal – a figure the Gunners believe is too high given the 26-year-old’s lack of game time in the French capital.
Bayern MunichMeanwhile, they are willing to let Coman leave this window, with Arsenal offering him the chance to sign. However, his high wages and transfer fee discouraged the entire hierarchy at Emirates Stadium from looking for other goals in Europe.
Coman is valued at £30 millionone sec Transfer market believes Kolo Muani is worth £25 million.
IN FourFourTwoArsenal believe it would be wise to offload the French duo if they feel their quoted prices are too high, although they still need to have other striker options on offer to solve the problems currently facing the club. Both Coman and Kolo Muani could demonstrate suitable short-term solutions, so negotiating a cheaper deal or a six-month loan with no obligation to buy may be the best solution.
