# Liverpool enter the race for Coman

Liverpool are joining fellow Premier League club Arsenal and German giants Bayern Munich in the race to sign 19 year-old Juventus winger Kingsley Coman, according to the *Daily Express*.

Having made only 18 appearances for Juve and scoring just once since joining the Old Lady in 2014 it is reported that the Parisian wideman is looking for a move out of Turin.

Previous reports suggested the North London club had the upper hand in signing Coman, but new reports have seen the race for the former Paris Saint-Germain prospect even out.

According to French publication *L’Equipe*, Bayern are said to be looking at Coman as a possible replacement for World Cup winner Mario Götze, who is said to be leaving the Allianz Arena this summer.

While fighting off Bayern and Arsenal may seem like a daunting task for the Reds, Liverpool have something the aforementioned clubs cannot offer: ample first-team opportunities and valuable experience for Coman.

With the likes of Thiago Alcântara and Douglas Costa at Bayern and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere at Arsenal, Coman may have  a tough time getting himself into the first team at either of those clubs.

At Anfield however, Rodgers could easily give Coman a chance by starting the youngster out wide.

The teenager has already shown that playing time is what’s important to him, playing only 488 minutes in Juve’s 2014-15 campaign that saw them finish first in the Serie A, win the Coppa Italia, and end up as runners-up in the Champions League.
