TERMS AGREED: £122million most wanted player has snubbed Real Madrid and Chelsea to join Arsenal in January transfer window as the Gunners agrees the total fees to make the deal done

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig’s young winger Yan Diomande, according to a report from Football Transfers.

The 18-year-old has quickly gained attention in the Bundesliga for his sharp movement, creativity, and eye for goal.

His performances have seen him emerge as one of Europe’s most promising young talents, prompting interest from top Premier League clubs.

Arsenal looking to add attacking depth

The Gunners are planning to strengthen their attacking options in the January transfer window as they continue their push for the Premier League title.

Mikel Arteta’s side currently sit at the top of the table and believe that adding another forward could make a big difference in the second half of the season.

Diomande’s ability to play on both flanks and also feature in midfield makes him a versatile option for Arsenal.

His technical ability and attacking awareness have impressed scouts across Europe, and his profile fits the type of young, developing player Arsenal have targeted in recent years.

Football Transfers claims that Arsenal view him as a player who can add both depth and unpredictability in the final third, especially with a busy fixture list expected in the coming months.

Chelsea also monitoring the teenager

However, Arsenal are not alone in the race for Diomande. Chelsea are also said to be keeping a close eye on the Ivorian youngster.

The Blues have been tracking several young attacking players across Europe as part of their long-term recruitment plan, and Diomande is among the names on their shortlist.

However, both Arsenal and Chelsea face paying a huge fee for the youngster, as Football Transfers state that RB Leipzig value the teenager at around £88 million, a price that highlights his rising reputation.

Despite his age, Diomande has already shown maturity and confidence on the ball, with four goals and three assists in just 11 appearances this season.

That output reflects his consistency and growing influence in the Leipzig attack. Scouts have praised his pace, balance, and decision-making in key moments.

Arsenal remain interested but will have to weigh the financial side of the deal, especially given the high asking price and competition from other clubs.

Still, their pursuit of Diomande underlines the club’s continued commitment to building a young, dynamic squad capable of challenging for major honours in the long term.
