Manager Mikel Arteta revealed the club's cautious approach to January transfers, stating they will only act if the right opportunity presents itself.

However, the absence of Saka has intensified the need for reinforcements, with a failure to strengthen the squad potentially proving costly.

According to Football Insider, Coman has emerged as a prime target for Arsenal. The French international has not been a consistent starter for Bayern Munich and could be allowed to leave this month.

Arsenal reportedly believes Coman possesses the quality and experience to fill the void left by Saka.

The report suggests that discussions regarding a potential transfer could accelerate in the coming days, raising the possibility of the 28-year-old arriving in London before the transfer window closes.

The prospect of signing Coman is particularly appealing due to his proven track record in top European competitions. His versatility, allowing him to play on either wing, would provide Arsenal with much-needed attacking depth during Saka's absence.

Some folks also believe Coman could offer even greater impact than a player like Raheem Sterling in a similar role.

As the January transfer window opens, Arsenal's need to address their attacking options will likely drive developments, and Coman could become a key figure in their plans to navigate the challenges ahead.
