With Ousmane Diomande’s very good season at Sporting, Arsenal have been said to be one of the suitors who want to sign him in the near future.
Now it seems that the Gunners aren’t only interested in what the defender does for the Lions, as according to A Bola, they’re watching him at the Africa Cup of Nations as well.
The outlet today writes there are some clubs who sent scouts to see Diomande in action with the Ivory Coast, and Arsenal are one of them.
It’s well known that Sporting won’t let him leave this month for less than €80m. So the scouts from Arsenal and other clubs have been gathering information for a potential summer move.
A Bola writes it’s possible that Diomande will sign a new contract with the Lions as soon as he’s back from Africa, since he has a relatively low salary at the club. Still, that shouldn’t change his release clause much, and the situation for a potential summer move stays the same.
