According to BILD, the race for Kingsley Coman is expected to heat up over the coming weeks, with several European giants showing interest in the rumoured Tottenham target.
Tottenham have their new winger
It was widely reported that Ange Postecoglou wanted to bring a winger through the door before the transfer window closes and one of the recent names to be mooted as a target was Coman.
Journalist Steve Kay told KS1 TV earlier this week that the Frenchman does not feature prominently in Vincent Kompany’s plans and could leave the club before the end of the month.
He revealed that Spurs were interested in the 28-year-old and pointed out that the North London side may have an advantage in the race as the player is represented by CAA Base, who Tottenham have a good relationship with.
Since then, Tottenham have invested in the signing of Wilson Odobert from Burnley – so it is unclear as to whether the Lilywhites would want another forward this summer.
Race heating up for Kingsley Coman
BILD now assert that Coman is attracting plenty of suitors from around Europe ahead of the final two weeks of the transfer window.
The outlet claims that Manchester City are fans of the former Juventus star and are expected to come calling for the player as Bayern look to offload him.
In fact, it is asserted that the Bundesliga giants would even be willing to loan out Coman, with Arsenal, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain also said to be tracking the France international.

Coman would have fit Postecoglou’s system but the Frenchman does not fit the age profile that Spurs are currently targeting for their long-term project.
Now that Odobert has been signed, I don’t expect Spurs to invest in any more forwards, even on loan.
