Arsenal overtake Newcastle United in race for £43m winger


 Loic Tanzi reports for L’Equipe that whilst Moussa Diaby is a priority target for Newcastle United, they aren’t a priority for him.

The suggestion is that Newcastle have fallen behind Arsenal in convincing the player to join them in a summer transfer.

RMC Sport claim Bayer Leverkusen as expecting to make €50m (£42.8m) for Diaby’s sale, adding that Arsenal and Newcastle are both particularly interested in the move.

RMC claim Arsenal made a firm offer for Diaby on the last day of the 2022 summer window. They could now be set to return for him.

The Evening Standard previously reported that Arsenal had looked at Diaby in the winter window, but Leverkusen didn’t want to let him go mid-season.

The Daily Mail claimed Diaby is one of Arsenal’s key targets, with Mikel Arteta looking to add a versatile attacker to his squad if possible.

The Ecuador international looked destined to join Chelsea this summer, though negotiations are ‘not close’ with the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Thomas Partey is among those who could depart, with Saudi clubs circling in hope of landing the Ghana international. Thus, Arsenal could add another top-quality player to their midfield ranks – with Caicedo still admired. Earlier this summer, Arteta intended on signing both the Brighton star and  Declan Rice  but the finances involved became a deterrent and they prioritised the latter, who recently arrived...

YOU DESERVE IT’: PLAYER MIKEL ARTETA LET GO REACTS TO ARSENAL SIGNING DECLAN RICE

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles has told Declan Rice that he ‘deserves’ his transfer to Arsenal following his club-record move from West Ham United. The Arsenal fans had to wait a while, but Declan Rice is now their player after £105 million was put on the table for his signature, as reported by Sky Sports. Whilst Rice enters the door, the man who has just left, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, has just ended his long stay with the club after his contract expired and he had nothing but kind words to say about the former Hammers captain on Instagram.  Whilst Maitland-Niles, who was on-loan at Southampton last season, is no longer associated with Arsenal, it’s pretty obvious that he will still follow how his former club fair in their quest to win the Premier League title again. The Hale-End academy product won the FA Cup during his time at the Emirates, but it’s becoming champions of England which the fans crave the most. Nonetheless, this was the following message Maitland-Niles sent to Rice a...
