Bayern fear Kingsley Coman will join Man Utd in £260,000-per-week deal

Transfer Info, Bundesliga, Premier League

Bayern Munich fear Kingsley Coman will reject a new contract at the club because Manchester United are willing to offer him a £260,000-a-week deal to move to Old Trafford. Coman has two years left on his deal at the Allianz Arena but Bayern wants to tie him down to an extension because he is entering the peak of his career. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Coman has been a long-term target for United and Solskjaer has made no secret of his desire to sign a right winger, with the club failing to sign Jadon Sancho last summer. The Frenchman has helped Bayern to five successive Bundesliga titles and he scored the only goal as the German side beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the 2020 UEFA Champions League final. However, BILD claim Bayern Munich are becoming...

Premier League

Chelsea have received a double boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Southampton this weekend, with Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva both seen in training on Thursday.

Also, Silva has missed Chelsea’s last three matches with a muscle injury and he will be desperate to return to the team against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton. Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech were als...

Premier League

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged Arteta to keep playing Bukayo Saka on the right flank where he feels the player ‘can do the most damage’ to opposition sides. Saka has established himself as one of the most exciting youngsters in the Premier League over the last two years and his versatility and adaptability has made him a an important player for the club. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Kieran Tierney’s issues with fitness saw Saka fill in at left wing-back for much of last campaign and he produced some outstanding displays in the Scot’s absence. But Wright believes Saka is most effective on the right side of a three in support of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, where he was played in Arsenal's 4-2 win over Leeds United on Sunday.
