Arsenal are considering a potential move for Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane as they look to bolster their attack.Despite a near-perfect start to the season, the Gunners have found themselves lacking firepower up front at times and heavily reliant on Kai Havertz as their focal point.Mikel Arteta is yet to find a prolific goalscorer for his Arsenal sideGettySix of Arsenal‘s nine Premier League wins this term have been by a single-goal margin, highlighting goals as a potential area for improvement.While Viktor Gyokeres is also available, Mikel Arteta has been reluctant to use him – starting the Swede just once in the league.With the £63.7million man facing an uncertain future, this has prompted speculation that Arsenal could be forced into the market in January.Kofane interestA potential Arsenal target has now been identified, with the BBC reporting that Bundesliga star Kofane has emerged as an option.The 20-year-old has scored three goals in six appearances for Bayer Leverkusen this season in all competitions.However, his progress has been halted by a hamstring injury, which has kept the frontman out of action since October 10.Kofane’s name will be a familiar one to Arsenal fans, having started in both legs against the Premier League champions last term as Leverkusen lost 3-1 on aggregate in the Champions League last-16.While the Cameroonian failed to score in either game, his rapid rise in recent years has clearly caught the Gunners’ eye.In 2024, he moved to Spanish second-tier side Albacete from AS Nylon in Cameroon and scored eight goals in 20 LaLiga 2 games.Kofane’s form was noticed by Leverkusen, who then signed the striker in July 2025.Kofane scored five goals in his debut Bundesliga campaign last seasonGettyThe Cameroonian is in just his second season of top-flight footballGettySince then, the striker has scored ten goals and provided a further nine assists in 50 appearances altogether for Leverkusen.Kofane isn’t the only forward option to be linked with Arsenal in recent weeks.The Gunners were also reported to be considering a January move for Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi following his impressive goalscoring exploits.Tresoldi has fired in 14 goals in 17 games in all competitions this term, including a hat-trick in the Champions League against Inter Milan.Arsenal’s Achilles heel?As mentioned, a lack of goals has been Arsenal’s only real shortcoming so far this season.The north Londoners have made an excellent start, winning nine of their opening 10 league games.Kai Havertz has been caught offside 15 times this season – the most in the Premier LeagueGettyTheir latest victory – a 1-0 home win over Hull – saw them equal their best ever start to a Premier League season, and leaves them five points clear at the top of the table.However, the Gunners have done so without a main source of goals, with Havertz, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka the joint-top scorers in the league with three goals each.A lack of clinical finishing appeared to worry Arteta following the Hull win, as he admitted his Arsenal side must improve here.Speaking afterwards, he said: “We need to find ways to be more efficient, sometimes even more pragmatic.“Sometimes my feeling is that we are trying to score a perfect goal against these low blocks. “We need to be much more chaotic than that, and that’s it. And open, I think, the scoreline much earlier because obviously that’s going to change the course of the game.”
