Mikel Arteta ‘likes Christian Kofane very much’, according to the striker’s agent (Picture: Getty) Christian Kofane says he would be open to a move to the Premier League in the future – but remains committed to Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the new season. The 20-year-old striker joined Leverkusen from Spanish second-tier outfit Albacete last summer and showed several glimpses of his undoubted promise across an encouraging debut season in the Bundesliga. While he is yet to establish himself as a guaranteed starter for Leverkusen, Kofane finished the campaign with a tally of seven goals and nine assists in his opening 44 appearances appearances for the club. Arguably Kofane’s most notable contribution came during the last-16 stage of the Champions League, when he caught the eye in both legs against the eventual runners-up Arsenal.

The young centre-forward more than held his own against Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba and was perhaps unfortunate not to score in the second meeting, with David Raya producing a stunning save to deny him late on at the Emirates. Subsequent reports emanating out of Germany claimed Arsenal were so enamoured by Kofane’s showings that they were even discussing a summer move – rumours that were seemingly confirmed by the player’s agent Eric Depolo. ‘Yes, Arsenal’s interest is genuine,’ Depolo told Daily Arsenal. Kofane shone against Arsenal in the Champions League (Picture: Getty) The Cameroon international has also been linked with Everton this summer (Picture: Getty) ‘The manager [Mikel Arteta] likes him very much.’ Asked which other clubs had expressed an interest in Kofane, Depolo replied: ‘Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.’ Depolo suggested the presence of both Arteta and Saliba in north London had put Arsenal in ‘pole position’ to strike a deal for the Cameroon international. ‘I think it is too early to say [which club is leading the race],’ he explained. Kofane has been capped six times by Cameroon (Picture: Getty) ‘But due to the fact that the player speaks Spanish, like Mikel Arteta, and that William Saliba is originally from Cameroon, I would say Arsenal are in pole position. ‘There is contact between me and Arsenal. But their focus right now is to win the league – from there everything will start moving.’ Depolo claimed Arsenal would be acquiring a ‘complete’ striker for the next decade should they secure a deal for his client. He added: ‘He is a €100million (£85m) player. With Kofane, Arsenal will have a top striker for the next ten years.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Martin Odegaard heads ball directly into police officer during Arsenal parade","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/06\/01\/188721103218914644\/480x270_MP4_188721103218914644.mp4","description":"Whoops!","duration":"T8S","height":480,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/06\/01\/12\/109008017-0-image-a-36_1780314932393.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-06-01T12:52:23+0100","width":270} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); In the intervening months, Everton are believed to have stepped up their interest in Kof
