Arsenal are interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby, according to Le10 Sport. The French publication claims that both the Gunners and Borussia Dortmund are tracking the 20-year-old.
The Frenchman only moved to the Bundesliga from Paris-Saint-Germain for €15m (£13.4m) last summer, but Leverkusen are expected to demand at least €30m (£27m) for the player when the transfer window reopens.
A number of supporters on Twitter think a move for Diaby would be a good idea:

Would be a great signing if we can get him, but there are other clubs which would be more attractive to him than us sadly, we don’t have the pulling power we used to have.

The France Under 21 international has certainly had a very decent season so far, having scored five goals and contributed eight assists in 27 appearances.
However, Arsenal already have young wingers such as Bukayo Saka and Reiss Nelson in the squad and Diaby’s signing would block the pathway of those players.
With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang possibly departing this summer, though, manager Mikel Arteta may feel he needs to strengthen his front three before the start of next campaign.
