According to The AthleticArsenal have made the 19-year-old one of their offensive priorities and are following his development very closely, convinced by his explosiveness, his maturity and his immediate impact at the highest level.

Two major competitors on the file

The Gunners would be ready to strike very hard financially, with an amount mentioned around 100 million euros. However, Leipzig is not considering any departure this winter and is postponing any discussions until next summer. Under contract until 2030, Diomande had a full season in the Bundesliga (6 goals and 3 assists in 14 games), which further strengthened the German club’s position in the negotiations. Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are also monitoring the file, aware of the extraordinary potential of the young Ivorian international.

Continental revelation and now rising star of the European market, Yan Diomandé stands out as one of the names to follow very closely during the next summer transfer window.
