Transfer News: Chelsea hold the edge over Manchester United in Kingsley Coman race

According to transfer news from Daily Star, Chelsea have some advantage over Manchester United in the race for Kingsley Coman. The Bayern Munich winger has been the subject of interest from clubs after he switched his agent and signed with Pini Zahavi.

Coman is not being pursued without reason. He has a lot of experience and winning history, having won a host of trophies at Bayern, including the Champions League. Add to that his trophies at Juventus and PSG, and you have a very decorated player at a relatively young age.

The 24-year-old has two years left on his current deal at the Allianz Arena. Talks regarding the pair over a new deal have so far been unable to bear fruit. A dynamic winger, Coman scored eight goals and assisted 15 in just 39 appearances for the German champions this season.

Bayern have a strained relationship with the agent after the way David Alaba exit the club. Chelsea may have a decent crop of attackers at their disposal. However, the addition of a world-class winger like Coman would be huge. Nonetheless, Chelsea will have to play the waiting game here despite holding some advantage.
