As the transfer window approaches its final hours, former Tottenham Hotspur scout Bryan King has urged the club make a decisive move for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman.
This follows recent speculation that Spurs are contemplating entering the race for the French international, with other Premier League clubs also reportedly interested.
King, who has a long history with Spurs, believes that Coman could be a significant asset to the team, particularly if the transfer fee is reasonable.
Speaking to Tottenham News, King emphasised that the player’s experience with a successful club like Bayern Munich could be invaluable for Tottenham as they aim to challenge for major honours under manager Ange Postecoglou.
He highlighted that Coman’s winning mentality and track record at the highest level could provide a crucial boost to Ange Postecoglou’s squad as they look to challenge for major titles.
King said:
“I’d have sooner brought Coman in than Timo Werner. He has been playing with a successful team in Germany. If he is available, and it isn’t going to be silly money, then I would certainly look to bring him in.”
“A good squad is a squad that will hopefully win something, and Coman has that experience. Therefore, it will be interesting to see if that gets done.”
Coman’s career achievements are remarkable. He has won two Ligue 1 titles with Paris Saint-Germain, one Serie A title with Juventus, and an impressive eight Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich.
Additionally, he was part of Bayern’s 2020 UEFA Champions League-winning squad, scoring the only goal in the final against his former club PSG.
Despite being hampered by injuries last season—missing 21 games—Coman still managed to score five goals and provide three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions. His overall record at Bayern Munich stands at 64 goals and 66 assists in 296 appearances, showcasing his consistency and quality. (Transfermarkt)
The addition of Coman would significantly enhance Tottenham’s attacking options. As they continue to build a competitive squad, this potential signing could offer a crucial boost to Postecoglou’s side, particularly as they look to re-establish themselves as title contenders.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also hinted at a potential surprise involving Coman before the window closes, further fuelling speculation.
Spurs supporters will be watching closely to see if this high-profile signing materializes in the final hours of the transfer window.
Whether Tottenham can secure Coman’s services remains to be seen, but the prospect of adding a player of his calibre to their ranks is certainly an exciting one for the club and its fans.
