“Yes, Arsenal’s interest is genuine. The manager (Mikel Arteta) likes him very much,” he said.
The agent named six clubs in the race to sign his player: “Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton, Brentford, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.”
Kofane is only 19 years of age, but he has begun to breakthrough in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen.
The youngster has only started nine league games this season, but he has returned five goals and four assists – four of those contributions came in the last five games.
Michael Keane expects Everton to splash the cash this summer if they are able to secure European qualification.
“He is a €100 million (£87m) player. With Kofane, Arsenal will have a top striker for the next 10 years,” the agent said.
However, spending huge money on a 19-year-old striker would surely mark another huge risk for the Blues.
