Arsenal
are set to lose the race for Juventus teenager Kingsley Coman, according to talkSPORT.
French
side Lille and Saint Etienne are currently fighting to win the race for the
highly-rated Serie A star. Both the sides are planning for a loan deal.
Arsenal
have been keeping tabs on the youngster for the past few months but never took
interest seriously. The Ligue One sides are now closing on his move.
Coman
made 18 appearances for Juventus in the recent season and won a Serie A medal.
The
Italian giants signed him form Paris Saint Germain last summer and the player
is expected to move back to his homeland.
Coman
started only five league games for the Italian side and is not happy in Turin.
He signed with high hopes that he will be given enough chance to prove himself.
However, he is still only 18 and has a long way to go. Both
the French sides are confident that they can offer more playing time than
Juventus.
It
remains unclear whether the deal will be on loan or permanent, Arsenal boss
Arsene Wenger wants to sign him permanently as per talkSPORT. While Juventus are in no moods to sell him on a permanent deal.
Coman
who made six chances scored a goal with only two shots.
