Moussa Diaby, a target for Arsenal, would be “ideal” for Mikel Arteta’s team
The BILD writer, however, informed GiveMeSport that he would probably cost about the same as Mykhailo Mudryk, who recently signed with Chelsea. Arsenal is reportedly looking at Mudryk’s replacements and has chosen Diaby as one of them, according to Sky Sport. The 22-year-old, who signed for their London rivals Chelsea in an £88.5m move on Sunday, was passed over by the Arsenal, according to Sky Sports.
Diaby appears to be one of the players Arteta is presently thinking about if he still wants to sign a new winger this month. However, you have a suspicion that Bayer Leverkusen would exert every effort to keep the Frenchman, who is one of their top players, on the team this winter.
Falk believes Diaby would be perfect for Arsenal, but Leverkusen would likely demand €100 million (about £88 million) for the 23-year-old. Diaby appears to be a decent replacement for Mudryk. According to Transfermarkt, he made 32 appearances for the Bundesliga last year, scoring 13 goals and dishing out 12 assists.
The Gunners are unlikely to sign Diaby during this transfer window if the price is that high. However, as the aforementioned example demonstrates, he may offer a lot to the Emirates provided Leverkusen are willing to take less and their English counterparts ultimately reach an agreement with them.
Getting the former Paris Saint-Germain player out of the BayArena this month appears to be a very challenging challenge, so it may be one to watch.
