Arsenal and Newcastle target Kofane close to new Leverkusen contract

The new contract would see the Cameroon international earn a reported €4 million per year and would not include a release clause.

Extending Kofane's contract would put Leverkusen in an even stronger negotiating position with interested clubs, with the forward having attracted interest from a number of Premier League sides.

Arsenal, Newcastle United, Everton and Aston Villa have all been mentioned as suitors for the 20-year-old striker.
