Arsenal were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens.
One player who the club were reportedly looking to sign in the summer transfer window was Moussa Diaby. But, due to how late in the window the Gunners seemed to register interest in him, a deal seemed too difficult to complete as Bayer Leverkusen were reluctant to sell.
However, with the January window fast approaching, Arsenal have another chance to test Leverkusen’s resolve. But, it has now emerged that the Gunners are not the only top-four Premier League club that wants to sign the France star.
