The Gunners are reportedly keeping a close eye on many wingers across the Europe. According to multiple reports emanating from Germany, Arsenal are linked with surprise move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby. The 23-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

Bayer 04 spent 15 million euros to sign the France international from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2019. He has a valid contract with Leverkusen until June 2025.

The winger has found the back of the net on 8 occasions and picked up 4 assists in 22 matches for Bayer this season across various competitions.

The 23-year-old is considered to be one of the best wingers in France. As a member of France national football team, Diaby won 8 caps.

Mikel Arteta wants to sign a new winger and Diaby is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. The Arsenal manager has kept an eye on Diaby for the last 12 months and he is impressed with the winger’s performances.

The English giants are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

The former Paris Saint-Germain man is a dynamic winger, who possesses good technical skills and ball control. His versatile nature can help the manager to be more flexible with the formations.
