Kofane agent: Arsenal in driver's seat, but these clubs also in contact

Kofane, 19, has been linked with the Gunners this week.

While confirming Arsenal's interest, Kofane's agent says they're not the only Premier League club following the youngster.

Eric Depolo told the Daily Arsenal: "Yes, Arsenal's interest is genuine. The manager (Mikel Arteta) likes him very much."

The agent revealed, however, that more clubs are in the hunt.

"Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich," he said.

When asked which club is leading the chase for Kofane, the agent stated: "I think it's too early to say, but given that the player speaks Spanish, like Mikel Arteta, and that William Saliba is originally from Cameroon, I would say that Arsenal are in the driver's seat."
