Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal but the France international has offers from Aston Villa and Suadi Arabian club Al Nassr.
Arsenal look set for a transfer blow as ɾєρօɾτed target Moussa Diaby weighs up his next move.
The winger has starred for Bayer Leverkusen over the last few years, leading to plenty of interest in the 24-year-old. Last season, the France international scored 14 goals and registered 11 assists as the German club finished in the top six and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League.
It was ɾєρօɾτed, back in March, that the Gunners held an interest in the forward. German transfer insiderChristian Falkclaimed that Diaby’s agents had been ‘in contact’ with Arsenal over a possible move to north London. However, it appears that both Aston Villa and Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr have moved ahead of Mikel Arteta’s side in the race to sign Diaby.
CBS ɾєρօɾτer James Benge has stated that the Saudi club has ‘agreed a Ԁєɑł in principle’ said to be worth an initial €43million (£37million), plus bonuses. Our sister titleBirminghamLivehas ɾєρօɾτed that Unai Emery’s Villa side have also agreed a fee for Diaby, leaving the forward with a choice to make.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal look to hijack a Ԁєɑł for the winger, amid suggestions fromSky Germanyhe has decided to join Emery at Villa Park. However, the Gunners have already made an overwhelmingly positive start to the summer.

Declan Rice is the club’s marquee signing and the former West Ham skipper will be looking to make an instant impact after completing his £105million move.
