Arsenal will not be signing Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby in the upcoming transfer window. according to Football LDN’s journalist, Tom Canton.
Canton claims a move for Diaby is currently off the cards for the Gunners.
He said this while discussing Mikel Arteta’s side’s spending power this summer and touched upon the fact that Arsenal are in the market for two marquee midfield signings.
He added they would spend big to acquire those players, leaving little to no room for exploring the possibility of signing Diaby.
Canton said, “I think they’re capable of spending it on two players this summer, and then the rest will be smaller. I don’t think Diaby will happen this summer, I would be very surprised if that happened. I don’t expect it to.”
Moussa Diaby is a pacey, skillful winger who likes cutting in from wide areas and has a knack for scoring goals. With his skillset, he could be the perfect option to rotate with Bukayo Saka.
The Frenchman scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 48 games across competitions for Bayer Leverkusen this season. He could add value to Arsenal’s frontline should they sign him.
