Arsenal given Moussa Diaby transfer hope as 'mega upheaval' planned at Bayer Leverkusen

Arsenal could reignite their interest in Moussa Diaby again ahead of the summer window with his future at Bayer Leverkusen in doubt. The Gunners initially targeted the winger last summer before reviving that initial interest in the January transfer window after their primary target Mykhailo Mudryk joined Chelsea.

Leverkusen enjoyed a stellar 2021/22 season which prompted many of their star players, who had garnered interest across Europe, staying in order to see where the club could go in the following campaign. However, their fortunes seemed to have changed dramatically with the German club knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages and sitting tenth in the Bundesliga.

Poor form and a possible financial issue, with Leverkusen likely to receive far less in the way of monetary reward for domestic success, could see them change their stance in Diaby. Last month, according to German journalist Patrick Berger, the Bundesliga side didn't want to sell the French winger but set a fresh price tag for the end of the season. "Summer transfer more likely," Berger says. "Price tag €75million (£68million) + huge bonuses."
