He is already a senior international for Cameroon, and has made 6 appearances for them, scoring 2 goals along the way.

The striker has scored seven goals and registered eight assists in 39 appearances for Leverkusen this season.

Chelsea are keen

In information cited by The Sun today, according to Kofane’s agent, Eric Depolo, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all keen on the forward.

In the comments made though, it is Arsenal who are bigged up the most.

It’s claimed Depolo said: “Arsenal’s interest is genuine. The manager [Mikel Arteta] likes him very much.

“I think it is too early to say [who is leading the race], 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.”
