Arsenal are strongly competing to sign 19-year-old RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande

Arsenal is reportedly ahead of Liverpool in the competition to acquire Yan Diomande, an outstanding player from RB Leipzig. With 17 goal involvements in 30 games across all competitions, the 19-year-old is experiencing a breakout season for RB Leipzig.

Ahead of this summer’s transfer window, Diomande has been linked to a number of teams, including Arsenal and Liverpool. The Reds will acquire at least one winger this summer to replace Mohamed Salah, while the Gunners might use an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli.

Diomande has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Salah in a number of stories; over the weekend, a Spanish newspaper even said that a full agreement had already been reached about his transfer to Anfield as Liverpool’s chosen one. Given that the World Cup is quickly coming and Diomande should have a number of alluring alternatives for his future transfer, this is perhaps premature.

According to our friends at TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich is monitoring his situation, while Arsenal and Manchester United have made checks on Diomande. Although Diomande is reportedly prepared to wait until after the World Cup finals to make his next move, Liverpool is also present.

Arsenal have advantage over Liverpool in Yan Diomande transfer battle

Diomande has long been closely associated with Liverpool, but I now know that the Gunners have also expressed interest. According to one source, “Arsenal has reached out to those around Diomande to be kept informed about his future.” “It’s a position they’re looking to strengthen and he’s appreciated by their recruitment team, but that doesn’t mean a bid or an offer is imminent or definitely going to happen.”

Another insider stated, “Diomande is Liverpool’s preferred Salah replacement, but the truth is that they’ll struggle to get him without Champions League football, and there is a huge amount of interest from all over Europe, with Arsenal very much in the race. ” Additionally, I’ve been informed that Leipzig is now optimistic that they may get much more than the frequently mentioned €100 million for Diomande, whose worth is constantly increasing along with his notoriety.

Arsenal has had a peculiar season; although leading the Premier League standings, its performances, especially in attack, don’t seem all that impressive. A player like Diomande may help Mikel Arteta’s team become much more of an attacking danger, but they frequently achieve success with a good defensive setup and a threat from set-pieces.
