Both Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly keen to strengthen their attacking options for early 2025, with Kolo Muani seen as an attractive target.

The French forward, described as ‘exceptional,’ was offered to English clubs through intermediaries in October, and interest has intensified in recent days.

Kolo Muani has struggled for consistent playing time under Luis Enrique this season, starting just twice across all competitions, and PSG are open to letting him leave. A loan deal with a future option to buy is on the table, 18 months after his £77m move from Eintracht Frankfurt.

A move to the Premier League is reportedly appealing for the 26-year-old, and Arsenal are now in contention to secure his signature in the upcoming transfer window.

Arsenal, who dropped points at home to Everton on Saturday, are anticipated to be active in the January transfer window as they aim to push for the Premier League title once again.

Mikel Arteta’s side currently sit third in the table after the weekend fixtures, trailing league leaders Liverpool by six points, with Liverpool having a game in hand.

As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Arsenal are open to strengthening their forward line in early 2025 but are willing to wait for the right opportunity. While they are not expected to spend excessively, the club would consider a significant investment if a deal represents good value.

Additionally, with uncertainty surrounding Thomas Partey’s contract, Arsenal may explore midfield options, though they are not overly concerned about the position after signing Mikel Merino in the summer.
