Arsenal could join the race to sign PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani, with the Ligue 1 giants potentially looking to send him out on loan.
With Bukayo Saka sidelined due to injury, the Gunners are actively looking for reinforcements to make up for the absence of their star winger. The club had previously expressed interest in Kolo Muani, but their quest now appears to be gaining momentum as Mikel Arteta is said to be an admirer of the 26-year-old striker, according to Tuttosport.
Despite interest from several clubs, including Juventus and AC Milan, Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to secure the signature of Kolo Muani. The Gunners’ proactive approach and appeal in the Premier League gives them a potential advantage over their European rivals. However, Paris Saint-Germain are open to a loan or permanent transfer for the France international with no particular preference on whether he stays in Ligue 1, joins Serie A or joins a team of the Premier League.
Kolo Muani priority of a European leader
However, if Arsenal manage to secure a loan, they will have to cover Kolo Muani’s entire salary, which amounts to €4 million per year. The Parisian giants are keen to avoid further losses after their hefty outlay on the player and allowing him to leave, either temporarily or permanently, aligns with the club’s wider aim of recalibrating its squad and resources.
As the January transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to know whether Arsenal will continue to pursue Kolo Muani or choose to focus on alternative targets. The Gunners will be in action next Saturday in the Premier League against Brighton.
