Kevin Campbell is refusing to get carried away by the hype around Moussa Diaby as reports link Arsenal with a move for him.
The Frenchman is one of the finest players in the Bundesliga, where he plays for Bayer Leverkusen.
Arsenal is searching for a new winger, and they tried to sign Raphinha in the last transfer window.
The Brazilian chose Barcelona instead, and the Gunners have returned to the market for another winger.
Diaby has emerged as their main target in recent weeks, and they seemed to be making a lot of progress regarding adding him to their squad.
There is so much hype around the Frenchman, but Campbell insists until they come in and impress, it doesn’t count.
He tells Football Insider: “You never really know until they come in though.
“One thing we have do know is that Moussa Diaby is very direct and very skilful. He is a real creator. He can go both way, inside and outside.
Adding: “Diaby is a good player but you never really know until they come in. He has been coveted by a few clubs. [Mikel] Arteta and Edu do their homework.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Campbell’s reaction to the news is how all Arsenal fans should be about it.
Players can be superstars in a team, and when they move to another, they become a flop, which is what happened to Nicolas Pepe.

Yeah though! But he has great potential to excel more at arsenal
Keep him, play him, see what he thinks at Christmas window.
In that case, no club should buy players based on his present club record?
Then, let’s sign no player at all
Thats his opinion,we respect it but wait an offer on table words will change
As things stand Arsenal most likely Win first 9 games …!
Arsenal have not had any Winger with the “Speed” and “quallity” of Diaby as a Winger.
Should Arsenal sign both Mousa Diabi and Leroy Sane, then every chance to challenge for “league Cup” this Season.
