Xavi Lines Up First Barcelona Signing After Being Officially Unveiled As New Manager

New Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez doesn't appear to be in a mood to waste time, as the Spaniard is reportedly targeting Kingsley Coman as his first major signing in January.

The Bayern Munich winger has impressed for the German champions this season, scoring twice in the Bundesliga while playing alongside the likes of Leroy Sane and Robert Lewandowski.

However, with the player thought to be keen on a new challenge, now could be the perfect time for Barcelona to bolster their ailing forward line by landing Coman.

It's been a busy week for the Catalan giants, who officially announced Xavi's arrival as the club's new manager, with the former midfielder replacing Ronald Koeman at the helm.

The 41-year-old has a huge task on his hands, with Barcelona currently sitting 10th in La Liga, having won just four of their opening 11 matches.

With this in mind, it's no wonder that a forward is being targeted - as the 23-year-old's contract is set to expire in 2023.

Talks over a new deal have stalled in Munich, which has seemingly alerted the interest of Barca, as well as Chelsea.

Whether a deal can be reached for Coman in January remains to be seen, as he is still an integral member of Julian Nagelmann's Bayern attack.

And yet, if Xavi is as keen on the pacey winger as recent reports suggest, we should perhaps expect an offer of some description to be made when the window does re-open.
