Arsenal have enjoyed an impressive start to the Premier League season, but there are still questions surrounding their attacking options as the January transfer window approaches.
Mikel Arteta has several forwards at his disposal, yet finding a consistent source of goals could prove important if the Gunners are to maintain their position at the top end of the table.
Now, a Bundesliga striker has emerged as a potential target, with Arsenal reportedly considering whether to strengthen their frontline.
Arsenal consider move for Christian Kofane
According to talkSPORT, Arsenal are considering a potential move for Bayer Leverkusen forward Christian Kofane, with the 19-year-old emerging as an option for the club.
The interest comes amid uncertainty surrounding Viktor Gyökeres, who has struggled to establish himself as Arteta's preferred centre-forward since arriving for £63.7 million.
The Swedish striker has started just one Premier League match this season, while Kai Havertz has continued to feature as an important option in attack.
Arsenal's narrow victories have also highlighted the importance of improving their goalscoring output, with six of their nine league wins coming by a single-goal margin, according to talkSPORT.
Arteta could look to strengthen his attack
Kofane's emergence as a reported target suggests Arsenal could be assessing younger options as they consider their next steps in the transfer market.
However, it remains unclear whether the Gunners will make a formal approach for the Leverkusen forward when the January window opens.
With the season entering a crucial period, Arteta will be keen to find the right balance across his attacking options as Arsenal look to maintain their challenge for silverware.
For now, Kofane is one name to watch as speculation surrounding Arsenal's January transfer plans continues.
