Arsenal has made an initial offer to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane ahead of the summer transfer window.
It's a tough one, he said when asked about his favourite team in the Premier League. I don't have a favourite team, but if there was one club I would love to play for it's Arsenal. He added: The way they play now, they have a great coach, they have a great system, and I think I would fit into it.
It'll be another difficult game. We had some great chances in the league clash that we didn't capitalise on. That contributed to the course of the game. Of course, you can't blank out the atmosphere. As a player, you're in the tunnel and don't notice everything, but that, you do notice, of course. But starting the game better, coupled with our own quality and our own build-up play and getting the opener, we can dampen the atmosphere. That can make a big difference.
Bayer Leverkusen climbed to fourth place in the Bundesliga after a commanding 4-0 win over relegation-threatened St. Pauli. Jarell Quansah and Patrik Schick struck early on at the BayArena, before second-half efforts from Edmond Tapsoba and Ernest Poku completed the rout. The hosts broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, when Quansah headed home Poku's dangerous cross via the underside of the crossbar.
Manchester City are open to selling Nathan Ake in the summer of 2026, according to SportsBoom . The Premier League club are said to want £25-£30 million for Ake. Ake has been at Man City since 2020.
