A number of Arsenal fans have been commenting on Twitter about the report linking the Gunners with Stade Brestois midfielder Ibrahima Diallo.

The Gunners face a tricky summer in the transfer market as Mikel Arteta seeks to stamp his mark on the team and bolster their ranks, but on a limited budget in wake of current events.

Diallo has enjoyed an impressive maiden campaign for the French Ligue 1 club, making 22 appearances in all competitions, and is said to be on the radar of several sides.

The Daily Star claims that Leicester had a bid of up to £16million turned down in January and remain in the running, while Everton and Nice have also made recent enquiries.

However, the outlet says Arsenal’s biggest opponents in the race for the £20million man are Sevilla, who have already opened talks with Brest.

That said, the Gunners have reportedly been told that Diallo would be interested in a move to the Emirates Stadium when they first sounded out his representatives.

The outlet goes on to claim that Arsenal – who have scouted the 21-year-old several times this season – have asked to be kept informed of developments so they are ready to rival any firm offer.

Earning comparisons with the great N’Golo Kante, Diallo is a talented box-to-box midfielder who can also operate deeper, boasts great stamina, and glides through the centre of the park while dribbling the ball – so he’d be a good fit for Arteta’s pressing tactics.
