Take a look at everything you need to know about Arsenal transfer target Kingsley Coman, amid a possible exit from Bayern Munich.

Arsenal are set for a busy end to their summer transfer business, as several deals look to fall into place in the final hours.

Eddie Nketiah is readying a transfer to Crystal Palace, meanwhile, Aaron Ramsdale is set to join Southampton.

With those two exits from the Emirates Stadium on the cards, there are some potential incomings too.

Arsenal have submitted a bid for Joan Garcia from Espanyol to be their backup goalkeeper for the future.

However, in the forward ranks, there is still an opportunity to add another name to an already talented group of players.

One of those linked with a move to Arsenal is Kingsley Coman, who looks set to leave Bayern Munich this summer.

So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know ahead of a potential last-minute move.
