And Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg claims the Saudi Arabian outfit have made an official approach.

Arsenal are considering making a move for Coman before the transfer window shuts today.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is eager to add more firepower in order to compete with Manchester City.

Arsenal are believed to prefer a loan instead of an immediate permanent move.

And that could hand Al-Hilal the advantage if they are willing to pay a lump sum.

The Saudis have Neymar, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in their ranks.

Coman currently earns in the region of £300,000-per-week at Bayern. 

He has just under three years to run on his current deal after signing a long-term contract in November 2022.

Arsenal are not ones for paying extortionate salaries – it was one of the reasons they stopped pursuing Brentford’s Ivan Toney.

The Gunners have brought in four new players this summer, but many fans are crying out for a top-draw forward.

The new stars include Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad, Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna and the permanent signature of former loanee David Raya for just under £100m in total

Emile Smith Rowe‘s initial £27m move to Fulham and Aaron Ramsdale’s pending switch to Southampton for £25m have helped balance the books.

Arsenal face Brighton in tomorrow’s early kick-off.

The Gunners and Seagulls have won both of their league games so far this season to join Manchester City and Liverpool on six points.
