Arsenal’s pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen’s talented player, Moussa Diaby, has received a positive development. Over the past few seasons, there has been consistent speculation linking the speedy winger to a move to the Emirates. Several English clubs are also interested in acquiring his services.
Initially, it appeared that Diaby was content to stay with his current club in the Bundesliga during the early part of the summer. However, according to a report in the Daily Mail, the Frenchman has now expressed his desire to leave and specifically wishes to make a move to England.
The report suggests that Diaby is seeking a fresh challenge and hopes that his current team will entertain offers from Premier League clubs for his signature. This development serves as a significant boost for Arsenal, as the winger is seen as an excellent alternative to Saka. His arrival would enable Mikel Arteta to rotate and rest the Euro 2020 finalist more frequently, thereby bolstering the team’s overall squad depth.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Diaby is a fine winger and his highlights reel are filled with some nice burst of speed and good attacking displays.
He would do a good job for us, but we probably have finished our summer business after splashing the cash on the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
It would be interesting to see if the club will add him to the group if Mikel Arteta asks for that.

Just take a look at some of the world-class players now available in the window: Mbappe, Diaby, Simons. If only we hadn’t splurged so lavishly on plain Rice and Havertz. Opportunity lost!
Martinelli
Saka
Nelson

Marquinos
Pepe
+ Havertz can be used there too
Cant see us buying a wing at all, even of we sell 2 of the above.
+ Jesus can and should be playing wing too
Diaby is a great player, very highly in demand. He will be an ideal rotation partner to Saka and could also play alongside Saka in certain formations. That said, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal signs him and the priority now for Arsenal seems to be selling players before signing a new player after the arrivals of Havertz, Rice and Timber.
It is a wait-and-see game. As gunnerforlife put it, the priority is to off-load some of the players.
