What happened. Arsenal's hopes of signing Christian Kofane have suffered a setback, with Bayer Leverkusen moving quickly to secure the striker on a new long-term contract. A €100m transfer price has emerged amid the interest.

• The 20-year-old has been on Arsenal's radar since last season's Champions League round of 16.
• Leverkusen are acting fast to lock down the highly-rated attacker.
• Kofane's physical profile and movement have made him an attractive target.

Leverkusen's push for a new deal could end Arsenal's pursuit unless the €100m price tempts them.
