The Gunners have been searching for a suitable forward player throughout the summer and the French winger might be the man they go for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:<\/span><\/strong> <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/28\/arsenal-aaron-ramsdale-southampton-interest\/\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u2018Could Get Done Soon\u2019: Southampton Submit Bid for \u2018Exceptional\u2019 Star<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This &#8220;swoop&#8221; for Coman will depend on the financial aspects of the transfer. He earns around \u00a3300,000 per week at Bayern, which might be slightly out of Arsenal&#8217;s reach, but certainly not out of the Saudi Arabian clubs&#8217; reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arsenal are said to face serious competition from the Saudi clubs, who have been showering players with lucrative contracts <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in order to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> convince them of a move to the Middle East. It shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise if one of those sides <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">follows<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> suit in Coman&#8217;s case.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Do High-Scoring Arsenal Need a Winger?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arsenal <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">have<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> not struggled with goals in their last two league campaigns, scoring 88 and 91 in 2022\/23 and 2023\/24 respectively. The latter was a club record. Despite this, they have been craving <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">for<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> a world-class forward, though not necessarily a striker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One reason for the search for an attacker is the lack of goals from their strikers. Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and Kai Havertz have all flattered to deceive<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, though<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the German had found his form in the second-half of last season and has started well this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More: <\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/27\/mikel-merino-arsenal-official-announcement\/\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mikel Merino to Arsenal: How His Intelligence Could Shape the Team<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/26\/arsenal-eddie-nketiah-crystal-palace-agreement\/\" target=\"_self\">Nketiah <\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">close to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> joining Crystal Palace and Jesus getting injured frequently, Arsenal might be short of depth.

However, Arsenal can&#8217;t depend on the pair for an entire season, thus making the signing of a forward mandatory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In Coman, they will be getting an experienced player who knows a thing or two about winning.
