Key Signing: Bayern Winger Joins Marseille, Boosting Wing Strength Ahead of January Transfer Window
Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has joined Ligue 1 side Marseille on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old, who was previously linked with a move to Manchester United, will provide cover for the club's wing-backs and help strengthen their attacking options ahead of the January transfer window.
Coman has been part of the German giants' first team since he made his debut at the age of just 17 in 2015.
He has scored six goals and provided eight assists in 84 appearances for Bayern, but has struggled to break into the starting XI this season.
Marseille have already signed several new players in the summer transfer window, including midfielders Florian Thauvin and Dimitri Payet, but Coman's arrival is likely to be seen as a boost to their attacking options.
The French side have also been linked with a move for Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, while they have also had interest from Serie A side Roma in their centre-forward.
Overall, Coman's signing could prove to be a good move for both parties, as he provides competition for a place in the Marseille squad and helps strengthen their attack.
However, it remains to be seen whether he can replicate his form at Bayern or if he struggles to adapt to life in France. Regardless, it is clear that Coman's addition will be a positive development for Marseille ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window.
