After losing the race to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk in January, Arsenal quickly added depth to the squad with Leandro Trossard from Brighton. However, at the age of 29, the Belgian international has never been in the long-term plans of coach Mikel Arteta.
Besides, the Spanish military leader has yet to find a worthy name to ‘divide the fire’ with Bukayo Saka. So bringing in a quality winger is one of the Gunners’ top tasks (according to a report from Fabrizio Romano).
One of the wingers that Arsenal are keeping an eye on is Moussa Diaby, who is in sublime form for Bayer Leverkusen. Recently, transfer expert Christian Falk has revealed that Diaby’s agent is in contact with Arsenal to bring the client to the Emirates:
“Arsenal is still the team that is leading the race to own Diaby. His agent is in the process of negotiating with the club.”
Earlier, CaughtOffside mentioned that the German team had offered a price of 70 million euros to any team that wanted to own Diaby’s signature. Arsenal will face competition from two ‘oil giants’, Newcastle United and PSG, in the race to recruit 24-year-old talent.
In fact, Diaby is a name that is always on the Gunners’ priority list because the level has been confirmed during his time playing in the Bundesliga.
During last year’s campaign, the French international contributed 17 goals and 14 assists for Bayer Leverkusen in all competitions. This season, Diaby continues to maintain a high form with 17 times contributing to his shoes in 32 appearances.
Appreciated for his speed and ability to penetrate, Moussa Diaby promises to become a quality ‘drill’ in the wing corridor if he lands at Emirates. In addition, the appearance of the midfielder in 1999 also helped Bukayo Saka get rid of the “overload” situation in recent times.
