Arsenal is currently investigating a potential move for RB Leipzig attacker Yan Diomande, according to information from football.london. The 19-year-old Ivorian international is viewed as a primary candidate to bolster the team’s left wing.
The Gunners previously missed out on Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea for 117 million pounds after Arsenal failed to match the asking price. Consequently, sporting director Andrea Berta is now evaluating alternatives including Bradley Barcola, Mika Godts, and Kerim Alajbegovic.
Diomande is in high demand, with RB Leipzig having already turned down an 85 million pound bid from Liverpool. While the forward reportedly favors a move to Paris Saint-Germain, the French club has yet to satisfy the 94 million pound valuation. Arsenal’s initial outreach remains in the exploratory stages.
Last season, Diomande recorded 12 goals and nine assists in the Bundesliga, helping Leipzig secure a Champions League spot. Arsenal previously struggled to reach an agreement for Benjamin Sesko before Manchester United completed that transfer for 73.7 million pounds. Following Leandro Trossard’s exit, the club is prioritizing left-flank reinforcements, also tracking Viktor Gyokeres to maintain their offensive momentum.
